A group of guys one day did say
we need order, religion and someone to pay
So they drafted some laws, and some high tax bills
to fund a nice white building on capital hill

They used the eagle to represent our culture
unbeknown to us, it was the IRS vulture
So congress was formed and america began
ran well for a while, like a lincoln sedan

Time passed on and goverment was great
until that fateful south asia debate
there were comminists invading another land
the poor people, how could they do this too vietnam

We'll send in our boys, agent orange too
(a toxic defoliant to me and you!)
We'll win no problem, those fateful words
and time dictated our soldiers corpses
being picked at by birds

So history was written and some items make you ill
the policy, the secrets
of capital hill........

Nice poem,
But Actually the IRS is a recent invention,
The founding Fathers made no provision for such a thing.
Some might like to believe that they just could perceive the need,
But research into the Federalist Papers show they did so to
Prevent the injustices which have befallen us.

Gloom is correct. This is a good example of how misunderstandings and illusions smear understanding of truth. But is is a nice poem.
