Burglars Ambition

A young Soul, Naive and intrigued 
A rebellious side waiting to be seen

In the shadow of night, Demons exposed
Change In his face an evil glow

In his mind, a planned Mission
Cold, dark criminal vision

Into the house, silent and Empty
Valuable items all so tempting

Like a wild scavenger nothing is missed
Feet moving carefully, gentle and swift

Off into the night with the prize possessions
A guilt riddled mind, threatening confession

A situation which once seemed distant
On a path now destined for Prison

God help anyone whom decides to visit our house. Four dudes, 2 dogs, and power in us. Prison does help, but sadly some burgle to fund habits rather than profit and gain. Cool poetry :) :)

We have recently have a spate of about 40 burglaries in a 3 week period on our little Island - it is unprecedented - we have a very low crime rate and this has un nerved people but it has made people more security conscious. the burglaries stopped for about a month sadly they have now started again:-( Great write if the thieves get caught .. they get court! hugs Jan xx 7 xx
