Two Passports

Two Passports

He carries two passports in a leather wallet,
One for the country of his birth and one for the one he bought,
A second citizenship from a small island with a ballot,
Investment program that charges three hundred thousand thought.

Two passports, two citizenships, two tax treaties,
Two passports, two addresses for the authorities,
Two passports, two ways to tell the revenue man,
Two passports, two jurisdictions in the plan.

The island citizenship costs three hundred thousand,
And requires a real estate purchase in the island too,
The total investment is closer to five hundred, which the housemanned,
Accountant calls a reasonable cost for the view.

He can now legally renounce the citizenship of his birth,
If the tax situation requires the final step,
He has been considering the financial worth,
Of the calculation for the past two years or prep.

The country of his birth built the schools and the roads,
And the courts and the foundation of the economy,
That allowed him to accumulate the codes,
Of capital he now wants to keep from the authority.
