Tax Thought
Tax time again, again, again
Anxious crunching of the days
Xenogenous shaking of the brain
Empty checkbooks, delays
Severing theory from truth.
Income diminished by rising cost
Severe dislocation of expectations
Undistributed wealth, profits unshared
National bills unpaid by the very rich
Justice forgotten in broken schools
Undeveloped communities, and roads
Statistics say wars get the lion's share
The tenor of egos, and representation wares.
