Shout No To Taxes

Well it's all too true and all too sad 
 The government treats us really bad
 We have a voice but most won't vote
 They'd rather party on their boat
 So next time when we have our say
 Lets tell these crooks to go away
 We've put them in we can take them out
 So now's the time we all must Shout
 You're paid by the people and that is us
 Maybe it's your turn to make a fuss
 When you have no job and you have no pay
 You'll realize your TAX is not the way

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
