Praxis for Taxes

  • Property is made
  • by plyin’ your trade,
  • from your fingers, and
  • some may not linger.


  • Property in person,
  • don’t be so knave,
  • such is no worsen,
  • they call ‘em a slave!


  • Property in Land,
  • Property in Labor, are:
  • Two different things— now,
  • Buy me a saber!


  • Profit from neighbor,
  • Without your labor,
  • Is only bereft
  • They call it a Theft,


  • If you believe it,
  • Started in Egypt.
  • A chap named Josef
  • Akin to Moses,
  • Aided a brain, that


  • dreamed about rain;
  • and bought all the grain.
  • From this he’s famed, but
  • ’Twas n’ver the same.


  • Then came some drought,
  • while suffering without,
  • Traded their land, for
  • some food in their hand.


  • Some days later,
  • there came some trader,
  • Columbo his name,
  • America his game!


  • Then it was new,
  • It touches your shoe,
  • property in land,
  • owning some sand,
  • no labor or fuel!


  • Some days past,
  • happen’d so fast!
  • Don’t be so rotten -
  • boy, pick that cotton, or
  • soon be forgotten!
  • Unless born lucky,
  • lives in some mucky,
  • eats only puckey!
  • Big rubber ducky!


  • Today it is grand!
  • The thinking not bland,
  • To some not so dross,
  • To pay for his loss:


  • Such a big f-ool!
  • Let’s send him to sch-ool,
  • Starting his gr-uel,
  • pay for his pool!
  • Is it so cruel?
  • Let's kick our big mule!


  • Lets he relaxes,
  • He must pay taxes!
  • For this, our praxis,
  • Cause there’s no access:
  • To lands for masses.


  • But it’s not so bad,
  • Some thanks to our grads:
  • least we have glasses,
  • water park passes,
  • medical grasses,
  • and Color TV,
  • with Wi-Fi high-speed!


  • So many people,
  • live in this steeple.
  • I ran out of time.
  • This, not a crime
  • but is the last line.
