Tax Payment and Tax Payers

This many guys dislike its mention
Including an owner of mansion,
From avowed lover walking away
And next time block his coming their way…

For even the steadfast tax payer
Regular payment not his prayer;
One could swear there’s no Tax Payer Max
Who wouldn’t want the rules to relax!
As often as not tax evasion,
To depletion of wealth aversion...

What makes a citizen a patriot,
Long prattles about it like parrot;
‘Very proud’ the delivering voice
Though doubtful over it would rejoice…

In US a political risk,
Your rival handling the matter brisk
In Nigeria treated like God’s tithe,
Easily, payers like struck snakes writhe…

Tax payment states its own energy 
“Mass non-payment nation’s elegy.”
