Paper Versus Plastic

by Dan Allen on November 22, 2009

in poetry

Credit Cards are clean and sheen

A modern way of life

Paper Bills are old world

Absorbent, Dirty

Reeking of human filth

The scent of a stripper

Crack-fives and coke-frosted Benjamins, straight from Wall Street

When I look at a bill,

I see a tree that never was!

He could of been anything in the world

Perhaps a Christmas Tree

Alas!

He would be doomed again

35 million trees are slaughtered by ax-wielding Santas

Maimed at their knees

Christmas capitalist consume!

Merry morticians decorate with glee

Rotting corpses in the guise of gaiety and garland

One bowl of water away from death

Ridiculed with trinkets, hot lights, and a gaudy gold star

Humiliated, Confused

Praying for euthanasia

Two words end their misery
