Usually, today would be tax filing day but because of the District of Columbia holiday Emancipation Day, filers have an extra weekend to file. I thought today would be an appropriate day to feature a tax-themed photograph from the past.
Pic of the Week: Thankfully it is April 15?

Pay Tax and Relax
We are taxed
As we use our Hands
Our Brains
Our Hearts
So to say…
We are taxed
Even for our hobbies…as art
We are taxed for our soulful stanzas
Without earning any cent
Still we are taxed…
Where ever we go
The tax sheet must reach us.
Even…our cohort will be taxed
While throwing roses on our graves…
Some Gulf states have no Tax
If there is no Tax there is a daily dust
Dust blinding every men sight
So they can’t see yet sign taxman’s sheets
What you gained in a desert
Might get vanish in seconds
With out asking you
To pay tax…
So better to pay tax
Than escape—
Remembering your cloths
On the desert sands
Don’t escape from paying tax
Tax means you are alive
Can smile…can dance
Struggling on sea waves
So enjoy life
And pay happily your tax
Consider it as a tip to barman
Who is waiting to serve you
And give you a joyful sense to relax…!
