make you pay

here’s your punishment
for failing to get your car registration renewed
and driving with an expired license.
perhaps you will learn your lesson

we have you now, you’re going to jail
for three months, three meals a day,
we provide a uniform, everything you’ll need,
and there is a store that we run

thank the tax payers, they provide everything
we make them pay, so tell me
who is learning the lesson
and who is making the money?

This one hit home. I spent hours at the DMV when I moved, and just to register a clunker, I paid through the nose. I forgot this state also sends an additional bill for property tax on cars. They're also releasing twenty murderers and rapists this week due to an old law and politics.

I tried to comment last week, and your comments were off (or at least appeared to be or maybe I've finally gone over the edge).

Anyway, enough of my babble. I like the poem. As always, the voice is awesome.

my nephew didn’t finish some public work a judge assigned. For ten years he slipped around, then got pulled over without a license. They checked on him, and put him away.

the DMV is great only when you fell like you get away with something.

I gave comments a rest for a week. it was one less thing to think about.

I copied your Sunday Drive poem, keep reading it, and can’t wait to read the thirty comments you will get so I can figure it out.
