This morning's Verse Love Host, Mo, challenges us to write about the complex emotions around taxes in 17 syllables- a haiku! As I love to tell writers, it is easier to write lots than to be concise. Neither taxes nor condensing to 17 syllable is a walk in the park but I really do wonder if there was a way to opt out of taxes if you are not satisfied with the work being done?
It does not make sense.
Those making millions will give
Back a few pennies.
So they can invest,
Buy arches, paint, while others
Buy bombs, pay tariffs,
What if we did not
Pay until Congress does what
It needs to do now?
