A Tank Full of Thanks

The new tax breaks

Went into effect

In January 2018

So by now

Everyone has seen

A little bit more

Pay in their checks

So the next

Logical step

In social economics

Was for gas prices

To go up overnight

By 30 cents a gallon –

Having an oil executive

In the president’s

Cabinet of secretaries

Makes sure no investor

Goes disappointed.

Author of the books, Buddha Bastinado Blues and The Kill Gene, Ben White thought he was a poet, only to find out he is not a poet at all. He is a witness. What he writes is testimony.
