Justice Is a Collection Agency

July 3, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Independence Day (USA).

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An Independence Day poem arguing for a government role in the redistribution of wealth:

Justice is a collection agency,

Uniting what one pays with what one owes.

Let the government collect the fee

Yearly, rebalancing the highs and lows.

Free markets are efficient but not just:

One after all must beat the competition.

Unions, taxes, fines can temper lust,

Restoring rivals to the same condition.

To be sure, the rich still have it made;

However, the poor’s bill must first be paid.
