hearken all!
and hearken none.
hail ye many!
and hail ye few.

tomorrow's sorrows
today may borrow,

but tonight is interest due...

so come all rich,
and come too poor,
whether healthy or sick,
or at deaths door.

though the day may break
if the payments late ,

make it a penalty too...

both thin and fat
cost coat and hat,
plus shoes and shirt,
for white or black.

well the rates are flat
with an added tax.
of only a nickel or two...

Some one is studying about the 13 states. lol

anywayz, this was interesting. The language was your strong point in the poem, maybe the message was a bit weak, but i had the feeling it was all about the language.

good job though.
