Cardboard Protest

You’ve peeled off

the label

And

Want to stick

It on me

 

Reduced, damaged

Used goods

With no

Guarantee

 

Label edges

Curling

Barcode won’t

Scan

Adhesive

Worn

 

From

The repeated

Swipe

Of your nob

On the

Backside

Of porn

 

You won’t

Shut the

Lid

On this

Cardboard

Box

That 

You've put

Me In 

 

Fucking

Let me out

Now

I’m suffocating

And getting

Thin

 

Grab your

Marker pen

And unfold

Your empty

Cardboard box

 

Gaud me with

Your protest

Taped to a stick

And scream

In my face

If you so wish

 

Your label

Won’t stick

And your box

Will not close

And there is

Nothing left

For you to

Hold

 

Except

Your

Cardboard

Protest

Taped to a stick

Good topic well done. Would you consider joining some lines together for slightly easier reading and following your ideas more closely - only asking?
