Flat Tax


Super fight!
Bite the blighting 
sights of mights 
making rights
and thrifting
a rifting
through bored 
sock drawers
and pockets 
locked and leaking 
to floors. 

All my money,
Honey,
Was paid to people
ready to take
and left a wake
of a constitutional glitch
to scratch an itch
of a long numb bottom
that's been plumping
for a decade now. 

One day 
a fair display
will pay
a price
that's nicer
than spliced
mites
limiting heights
and reaches 
beseeched
to speeches 
of outside smiles
and inside biles
digesting 
another's intestine. 

The brass breaking
of convoluted tax taking
rakes too many fakes
through the think forks splay
and roasts another's egg
and the plague grounds increase. 

Why can't we care
for simple and fair
instead of pimples
and glares
of maybe you's
and not me's. 
We flee the fleas
yet the tree's roots
boot our basic banter
to chanters
who shant
rant against
the pretence
because it's hard to lift mountains. 

Lift up eyes
and prizes worth fighting for
and door needed to explore
and save jobs and money
and lands milked for honey
and breathe a fair breath
of stressless death
for a flat rate
congregate
that increases value. 
Shall you?
Shall I?
or will April 15th
always make us cry?
