What does paper say?
Well I don’t know
about any other paper
but this paper wants
to borrow my voice
so that it may voice
its own opinion.
This paper wants to know
why people take paper
like this one for granted.
This paper wants to know
why it has been cut
from the roots of his home.
This paper wants to know
where his family has gone.
This paper wants me to
cry and shout for him,
wants me to curse the heavens
for denying him his freedom.
This single piece of paper
wants all of mankind
to know how he feels.
This paper wants
to live through me.
This paper has accepted his fate.
This paper wants purpose
so he is using me to let
his feelings surface.
