Daniel Davies Poet Rhyme

Oxymoron of the Millennium

I was a good, honest taxpayer
That nurtured a moral dilemma.
Why should I perpetuate 
The state I’ve grown to hate?

Subject to the authority
Of a fluctuating majority
I refuse to comply
You can accept, I’d rather die.

To be truly honest
Why vote in a rigged contest?
Plant free trees in a forest
Felled by the loudest lobbyist.

A good, honest player
Pays the public piper
Of their own free will
Or swallows the pipers pill.
