Liberty girl

Topic: HumorPoetry

Why did we ask for the tired and the poor;
Where are our powerful rich?
theyve retired overseas; to live life at ease;
High taxes have granted our wish.

they never paid any tax
they created corporate shells
And an industry of tax avoidance
until the bottom fell out

But they never cared
because they never lost
a step

Tax is given a bad name
just like socialism has
been given a bad name

GI Joe said

man it would be nice
if they would pay me
or my family,
for losing my arms
and legs,

or for getting killed
just a small percentage
for all I/'/ve done

but you couldn/'/t raise
taxes for that

you sons of rich
folk

you got to keep
it all for yourselves
don/'/t ya

Peace!

Its sad but true and something that Muppetman said about the military and how they are treated; he is 100% right. The men and women of the military (which I am veteran Marine) volunteer to put our lives on the line to defend the rights and way of life that so many take for granted and we get paid peanuts. And in the world that we live in today there is no more middle class. There are only the poor and the rich and the gap between the two only grows with each passing day. The rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
Sorry for my rambling but you wrote another great piece here.

Rich

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
