Theif At His Best..

Theif at His Best...
I had settled for less but now I want more. 
I have now gone just out right, just out right over board. 
I have my maps, pencils, and paper. 
I got my clocks I have my timers. 
I’m timing the cameras and moving red laser’s. 
I am keeping my eye’s on the moving satellites.
I have my time written down and everything planed just right.

Then on my marked night I go for my crown jewel of - delight.   
When I got to my goal I forgot the biggest thing. 
Now I’m writing up sketches to break out of prison.

Yes I should of settled for less.. 

I would not be in this ongoing mess.
But I keep going at my best. 
Until my future interest is at my rest.  
                                                                             cw jackreed3...
