Death and Taxes
An antiwar blackout poem
We are a nation fighting
for our survival,
but he wasn't ready
to fight himself —
the lack of care for veterans,
the primary deterrent.
Continue paying taxes.
Look at how little is given back
to those who sacrifice.Update: 3.3.25. Changed the title based on a comment from Benno .
Great poem. I really like this blackout format.
This one made me think. Perhaps it's better to fight the enemy of country rather than fighting the demon inside. As a matter of fact, the fighting of a nation's enemy is a great distraction. Hope all is well Josh!
