The Government's Money

The Government's money not for the poor. The poor not worthy of it. The Government working on for it. The poor no worthy summit. The bills to print for mortal man. The plates for generations. Governed debts for discipline. The cheating for our Nations. A tax to keep us all in line. Our soul at cost for keeping. The Government holding all our deeds. For later they'll be reaping.

Thanks Pete. Not one of my better poems. Still it's hard not to see fault in the government.
