Put It This Way Poem by Atef Ayadi

it is true,
gas prices went up, not because of
luck of oil,
or the nature of demand and supply;

it is simply greed.

like diamond, they are everywhere,
in abundance,
-literally, as abundant as iron and other minerals; -
Nevertheless,

they are expensive, and please to do not talk about love or
global worming,

because the rhetoric: 'I came to free you',
is ancient, and in the old Latin, it means I came to tax you.

I add: ' Please do not free me, I will free myself!
cause, nothing is free, you will tax me later.'
