JELLYFISH NEVER BUILT A GUILLOTINE
mutual aid means nobody starves
but jellyfish don’t pay taxes
I’m just saying, as human beings
have we looked into these facts, sis?
I like roads and bridges, dude
I like schools and the post office too
Taxes would be fine for me
If our government cared about communities in need
Instead we pay for endless war
trillion dollar deficits nobody asked for
so before this country hits the skids
stop using our money to bomb brown kids
I love how this poem transitions. The line “trillion dollar deficits nobody asked for” rings true.
