All Days For the Thief

He takes a lone journey leaving out everyone He looks right, left and right again Searching out for the faces in sight He sneaks in the shield of darkness With smacking and drooling lips And lustful bulging eyes Mirroring only scrumptiousness Unable to wrest his mind’s biddings He muffles his mumbling conscience And swoops and heists to the coffers Scooping the sweats of another’s brow Smiling derisively with a shaming glow Today he leaves his heart to rehearse the schemes Seeing already the bounty bought by the trip He traces his route to his routine ride And seeks out to cover the tracts But the unforeseen scene he ditched, sets in His hands is trapped in the cookie jar Everyone is drawn in to the hidden story
