Petty Theft

Your actions are so cruel So calculated and quick Within an instant You take what you want Because you feel entitled You've destroyed trust In those you should be closest to By coveting others Your needs outweigh Close relationships and bonds Why must you destroy Others memories of joy Be taking treasured things You've destroyed the joy And replaced it with scorn Your jealousy overpowers And feeds this evil task Of stealing things From those you say you love How can you live with yourself? Do you have no conscience at all? Yet you deny deny deny And never own up to the truth No one believes you But you. Your M.O. Is the same You reorganize to hide The things you placed in your hands But remember that dirty spot Cannot be washed off from your hands Once you've stolen you've destroyed Any trust you ever had I thought this may be a illness A sickness or disease But when you broke instead of took I realized it was the emerald The jewel at its purest state Crystallizing within The ugliness in your heart I no longer pity you I'm angry at the destruction Created by your taking Of the things So important to others, yet not to you Coveting is jealousy and that is A sin against those you steal from
