Paper and Plastic

Paper bag Plastic bag A bag is a bag Plastic is still being used And there’s an oxymoron In that bag It was business as usual To lie about doing away with plastic That is called bombastic And more sarcastic than an average Movie being called a classic So who got the money and who got the shaft? The consumer fell on the sword And the money walked away in a mask Deceiving some but not all It won’t be long before they all fall Because eyes are opening every second And minds are thinking minute by minute And we are all in it to win it To put more food in our pots And more money under key and lock In the banks that we choose They’ll continue to behave dismissive and rude Because deception is the biggest fool And everything done in the dark Will come to the light Now that you’ve been exposed You’re on display In clear sight For all to see You, you, and you Peek-a-boo we’re watching you
