Let’s talk tax
Let’s talk tax
A participation payment of sort
Law and order maintains
To your business door
Those streets paved by tax
But wait there is even more
For the welfare of society depends
On that service fee being met
Now let’s see
If you avoid paying your bill
Who will maintain society's will
The duty of custom breaks
When there is no give and take
A business does not thrive
Where laws hinder tolls to take
Now the picture comes into focus
For those that receive a break
A gift of welfare is bestowed
So the question must be asked
Was the business in need?
Or just perceived by intellectual greed
A notion most jarring to note
We paid their maintenance cost
The due date betrayed by abstracting ideals
So they could plunder our civil society
