Why should I give…our tax…our property

Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s
Mark 12:17
The government
It’s Inefficient
——————
It takes ten people
To do
One man’s work
—————
It’s corrupt
They earn their cuts
On public money spent
—————
It wastes
Digging a perfectly
Good road
And relaying it
—————-
The politicians
They use our money
To give sops
To reelect themselves
———-
That’s all true
————-
It’s not about them
It’s about us
It’s about honesty
—————
If all
Stopped
Paying
Their taxes
Would there be money
For development
—————
Are we making
An excuse
Because
We do not
Want to part
With our money
—————
Rules
They are meant
To be obeyed
—————
We don’t
Because
We know
We can get away
————-
It’s difficult
Yes
To walk
The narrow path
—————
When we buy or sell
Our property
In black
To avoid taxes
—————
Are we doing
What Jesus said
—————
Give to Caesar
What belongs
To Caesar
————-
That’s black and white
No room for debate
————
Do we stop
To consider
That God
Will bless us
With more
For our honestly
Our Evangelisation
————
Those Christians
They’re white people
They say
No underhand dealings
—————-
The Municipality
They ask for our land
—————
Our property
For road expansion
They do not ask
The others
————
They slapped
The notice
On us
They did not
Slap the others
————
Why must we give
It’s unfair
———-
Jesus said
If someone slaps you
On one cheek
Offer the other
—————
If it’s for a greater good
To reduce the traffic
To reduce the pollution
Of vehicles in a jam
————
We must give
It’s for the good
————-
We are givers
We must not look
At the others
Or we will be
The same as they
————
Giving is Catholic
Giving is Christian
Giving is Humane
