Lara Wash Poet Didactic

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
