0 Guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) Solving a riddle. Riddle's Disease could be its solution. It would die eventually(losing breath) as many people try to solve it (many masses). Everyone must induldge in solving it and give some of their time(so play your part and give me your time) and your efforts are solving me(Its stopping my heart and choking my mind). Insulting you if you can't solve it(Do you know what I have?Or are you just dumb?). There is only one way you can save it and that is by not solving it and answering something else.(If I'm one you can save,you can change the outcome.)

0 Guest Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) I've had a disease for two thirds of your life -The income tax started about 1/3 through the history of the USA what caused it to be sprung from great strife-The income tax began as way to pay for the civil war effort I'm losing my breath-stifling the economy as the disease progresses -we have a progressive income tax I'm certain of death-"two things are certain in life, death and taxes." When I observe the masses-masses being the citizens of the United States so please play your part-pay your taxes and give me your time-go to work and earn an income to be taxed It's stopping my heart-stifling the economy and choking my mind-stifling the economy though you will give some assistance-your taxes are used for social services some would just have me burned-referring to those who "burn" their money away please give it some sense-cents=sense hehe and claim what you've earned-claim your income on your tax returns Do you know what I have? Or are you just dumb?-I don't really think you're dumb, I just needed to rhyme with outcome If I'm one you can save,-save your money, the narrator here is your money. you can change the outcome.-outcome->incomeyes Edited July 21, 2010 by Equality 72521 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
