Where does my tax money go?
The pavement is reduced to rock and rubble
And where there should be concrete ground
we find nothing but dirt and air bubbles,
floating in the ditchwater underground.
Where does my tax money go?
Last time I checked, I was holding a candle
on a silent march
but its light was too feeble
to make up for an errant lamp, but who is to judge!
For once more a corrupted official
robbed the streetlight off its power,
which instead went to his head,
frazzled his brain, made his countenance dour,
made him unfit to earn his bread.
Would my tax money go in building a hospital
Ensure affordable care as it should?
Last time I checked, it was the kindness of ordinary people
that paid for the treatment and I gave what I could
For those who cannot afford a car,
would my tax money go in
giving transport that's safe to board at all hours?
Last time I checked it was withheld in
statues for public consumption
and statutes yet to function!
