Fate Of: "babylon, the Great"

Cuatro Tetractys

Politics, circumvent, all common sense,
facsimiles,
non exist.
Raise tax
ax.
……………………………….................................
Thus,
we the
tax payers,
of common sense,
should circumvent, by our two cents, these gents!
………………………………...............................
Raise tax of wealthy, to the healthy max.
Lift up ax tax.
Stop grinding,
face of
poor!
……………………………….............................
Need us of common sense, say any more?
This be judgment,
of great whore.
They serve’ 
her!
 (C. Rev. Ch, 17&18)KJV
For. Tetractys

Very befitting quotes in a novel form of your outstandingly wonderful poem. Great great write. An eye opener unless the politicians are pretending to sleep. My good wishes for your entry in the contest. Your comments on my poem The Rains have come' is no less precious than a Gem. Thank you for appreciating it so much. Love and best wishes always.,,,,Ravindra .....John Freeman
