tax $$

tax $$

A Poem by Kieran James McGovern
"

nothing special, lyrics to three-chord song about social services

"

 

Through income tax

That is mine

I gotta watch my back

All the time

The healthcare industry

Has never been fair

Maybe they

Should just drop the “care”

Funding institutions

Committing fraud left and right

They’re trying to take our rights

Here they come

But I’m prepared to fight

At all hours of the day and night

 

Bureaucracy wants to see me DEAD

At first, they send their letters

Then they come for my head

The system’s livin’ off your struggles

I say enough is ENOUGH!

 

Parks his car

And walks toward the house

The repo-man takes his weapons out

So I do mine

I lock and load

The laser sight pierces to his soul

I say the Pledge

With a finger on the trigger

“Freedom and justice for all”

I point the gun at my head

And then my lifeless body falls

 

Politi-culture vultures swarm

On in from everywhere

Hoping my corpse is still warm

If you’re life ever feels meaningless

Think of how many will profit off your death!

 

Off your death!

They don’t care

Exploit you to the bone

And leave you lying there

For the wolves!

Just a stepping stool

The land you love will play you for a fool

And try their best to exemplify the rules

Off your death!
