Let’s talk tax

A participation payment of sort 

Law and order maintains

To your business door

Those streets paved by tax

But wait there is even more

For the welfare of society depends

On that service fee being met

Now let’s see

If you avoid paying your bill

Who will maintain society's will

The duty of custom breaks

When there is no give and take

A business does not thrive

Where laws hinder tolls to take

Now the picture comes into focus

For those that receive a break

A gift of welfare is bestowed

So the question must be asked

Was the business in need?

Or just perceived by intellectual greed

A notion most jarring to note 

We paid their maintenance cost

The due date betrayed by abstracting ideals

So they could plunder our civil society
