Tax Collectors

Written by: Imberwick

Like wealth, there's a tax on fame
The tax of envy, to be spent on shame

Should a citizen kill another in anger,
the act shall be called one of many:
Justice
Rage
Stupidity
Murder

Should a ruler kill another in anger,
the act will forever be -Tyranny-

Hark! Tax Collectors roam these streets
A lark! To be had at expense of the elite

What better way to feel better,
than to tear down your "betters"?
Moral superiority is the tool
of those plagued with inferiority.

Always maintain your reputation

Take a break,
and you'll pay for it

In the game of image,
it's all play to win

Show any guilt,
and they'll appraise your sins

Like "connoisseurs"
speaking from their asses

Spouting pyritic shit,
pandering to the masses

They'll get their tax from your success
They'll get their pound of flesh...

They'll shear it from your spirit

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Daedalan, in the year 840 AF.
