Piece of Paper
That piece of paper
Runs your life.
It causes you fear
And desperate strife.
The government takes
And leaves you empty
For that piece of paper
Is a lifeline of plenty
We print the paper
Distribute it to all
pay for meaningless things
And suddenly we fall
This piece of paper
Ruins our lives
Leaves us broken
Fearful through the night
For we need this paper
To succeed in our society
To be viewed as "priveledged"
As everyone wants to be
When is this paper
Going to cease
Running our lives
And causing defeat
I want to burn this paper
It doesn't define who we are
Our importance is known by God
And we are as magnificent as His stars
We were created by
The most majestic being
The one whom we believe in
The one we love without seeing
This paper breaks our connection
With the one and only bond
We have with each other, ourselves
And our one and only God.
