Avoid Stealing

1.Hater of blames protect	
self from theft.
2.Planning others’ cheat, never 
even think others’
3.Theft, fortune seems multiply
but soon, end.
4.Passion for theft yields
endless sorrowful fruits.
5.Pretending to steal others’
possess worthless love.
6.Lovers of stealing, never
live ,controlling desires.
7.Addiction of theft unseen
among self-controlled, disciplined.
8.As charity in righteous
deceit in thief.
9.Knowing theft alone ends
life, committing boundless.
10.Thieves loose life, righteous 
bestow unmiserable life.
