Jake Aller Poet Sestina

Licenses

Bankers have a license to steal
money from their clients 
if you make a mistake
the bank can steal your money
as part of their banking license

Governments have a license
to steal money 
from the public
its is called taxation
or confiscation 

It seems 
that police these days
have a license 
to kill 
unarmed brown people
but only brown people

and the president 
has a license 
to lie
as he lies 
all the time
just because he can

and I have 
the ultimate license
the poetic license
to write 
these verses
to enlighten the masses
