they are going to tax the poets

 they are going to tax the poets 

they are going to tax the poets

so much on every word

its absurd 

have you heard

they are going to tax the poets

for crying that the wilderness

is inflicted 

for we have been evicted

from our fiscal-less mesh

for its the way they rule the world when

the hoi polloi are treated like a fool

they are going to tax the poets

for getting in your mind for leaving 

their sound bites far behind

my autocorrect said fart not far

and that’s about all they are

they are going to tax the poets

and live to regret the time

they trod upon a viper’s rhyme

and it bit them in the arse
