Honesty of a Thief

In the name of god 
Six men silently went to do a theft 
In a house of their neighbor
Successfully they broke into 
And fortunately got their hands 
On substantial amount of wealth
After completing the operation 
Heftily they came back to their den 
In a forest under a small cave 
Merrily the boss sat down round 
As a leader sits with his executives 
And equally distributed the booty 
He could cheat them easily 
But he did not and that is called 
The honesty of thieves. 

Here is a man educated 
And does a white collar job 
But his greed is so much 
He tells lies, takes bribes 
With a slightest opportunity 
Sells his honesty and swindle money 
As if he is educated to cheat people 
To kill trust, with expert hands 
To do crime leaving no clue behind 
Who is better this educated man 
Or the leader of the thieves?
