Question:

Poem: Paper Men (let me know what you think)?

I'd appreciate any feedback.

Paper Men

We live under the tyranny
of paper men
with paper dreams;
the soulless who dwell among us.
folding us into their fear.

They care for nothing beyond security.
They are nine-to-five.
They are three-square-meals.
They are Volvos.
They are credit card bills and overtime.
They are trapped.

Still, not content;
until, all are made to step to their steps,
and dance to their bloodless tune. All
voices becoming hollow echoes of their own,
a sad choir crying out for the flame.
