tax the people

The pockets are empty

The holes become too many

The funds seem to disappear

Without any possible clues

The heavy borrowing

Camouflaged as projects

The news are published

The good factors edited in

But is it?

The taxes hit the door

GST is one the guys

Increasing the coffers

But there is still a hollow ring

Like the droplet of water in an empty well

The funds are to cover up the wrong

The wastage of funds every time

Now there is the hotel tax

It is joked as the Curi Curi

The locals and foreign tourists

They have to fork out more

This is the classic case

Of a government finding ways

The economic of basic needs

Tax the people to survive!
