Stagnant

Stagnance
Creativity has died
Falling into sharp reminders
Memos written in black ink
Compute screens glaring
Phones blaring
Trapped in institutional white
Papers, papers
Flying like gulls
Watch this empire fall
Slaves of economics
Living for our pockets
What's most important
Has been lost
