Description Paper towns
Are burning down
Ashes swirling,
     Lies unfurling
          Paper skin is
               Curling in
          Upon itself
Blackened, acrid,
     Crumbling:
          Finally tumbling
     The mighty from
          Their pedestals
                                   (look at how we've all been fools)
Paper worlds are falling,
     Paper voices calling
          For paper men
               Through their paper hoops to jump
                                                                      (they want familiarity)
They want paper rules
     And paper lives
          Spent under a paper sky
               And a paper moon shines,
Reflecting only paper

I love this part.
They want paper rules
And paper lives
Spent under a paper sky
