A Thief

An ancient thief went to the village
When all people was sleeping
Stole a little plate of rice
Arrested but feeling guilty and ashamed
Masked to hide

A modern thief went to the village
When all people was welcoming
Stole a billion of money
Arrested but smiling and famous
White collared and go public

Villagers elected a modern thief
A glass bowl, gray colored and upside down
