holding back

When he was poor and struggling

the government held him back

gave him just the basics

from other peoples tax




then he had a grand idea

used others to achieve

he told them he was a genius

they worked hard cos they believed




soon he earned a fortune

taxes he could pay

but he didn't pay it

his fortune was stashed away




the poor people that he swindled

poised for the attack

now he has the money

the government must hold them back
