The Covenant
We almost all agree
that increasing taxes
for the rich and famous
is a sound, swift idea.
What we resist, resent
is that the idea comes
from the government, from
the hierarchy alone.
We are in an unreasonable
mood: despairing, though
common: which makes
politicians nervous, anxious:
despairing themselves.
