PrintPoem – A Bit of News Not Fake (By Donal Mahoney)
A Bit of News Not Fake
An article in the paper reports
something one doesn’t see
happen in America very often.
Eighty billionaires, millionaires
and others close to that level
in New York have written to
their lawmakers and governor
asking to have their taxes raised.
They want to support schools,
build roads and bridges, and help
the poor and the homeless.
The president of the United States
is a resident of New York.
Eighty names on the list so far.
At press time his was missing.
