Oh Politicians!
you are now thinking to levy “Flush Tax”,
In future, you may tax even our earwax…
Instead,
Tax those, who fall in love
Tax those, who fall out of love
Tax those, who search for love
Tax those, who crave for love
Tax those, who love to love
Tax those, who hate to love
Tax those, who glorify the love
Tax those, who vilify the love
Tax those, who read about love
Tax those, who write about love
Tax those, who comment about love
And your coffers will be
overflowed with dough
In a one go...
For,
It is not the elusive dark matter that keeps
universe falling apart,
But the mysterious love that
stays in every human’s heart.
So,
Tax the love
fill your trove.
PS: I read in a news paper that politicians are planning to levy a flush tax. More you flush, more you pay the tax. So this poem took birth in my mind. You can find this news on a following link.

Does the English word 'tax of love' mean tax in love? The Japanese word 'love tax' was created to mean love expressed in tax. Meaning 'easy to do difficult things'. Let's create 'Love Tax'. Create a tax that expresses 'love'. Let's create a 'loving economy'.2021/10 / 10-12
