War is the worst of crimes,
to steal young lives is theft.
War does not determine who is right...

It determines who is left.

Prisons Are Not Made of Walls

Bricks and cement do not make walls for a prison
Only cruel minds and premeditation 
Is it not murder?
Is it not fraud and theft that locks one in?

Humbleness

The glorious thief is happy
He knows he is a humble thief
He’ll go to heaven. 
Theft remains on the Cross, he thinks
But one can behave humbly
Without being humble

When theft of a heart

The thief of my creation - the robber of his own self-worth;
loaned fleeting triumph - doomed to spiraling downward - dazzle to dust, fast.

Allowed the theft of his Mercedes so keen.
Cops came like so many times before,
But this time he stayed to close his house door.

A Poem Is Brewing...

Stolid, terse
Ferrous verse

Raw, crude
Pressing lewd

Fiery, rage
Warring sage

Wild, free
As the open sea

Clever, deft
Mindful theft

Longing, attentive
Yet pensive

Petty Theft

Petty Theft

Abandoned on a dark and dusty shelf,
a part of her forsaken self,
not forgotten, but a misbegotten
treasure of a stolen Christmas elf.

Identity Theft

At the Lost And Found, I called Dial A Prayer
                                   I had a map, but not a clue one
                  Old age yes, it must be identity theft, someone stole my life

Premium Member He Sings Behind Prison Bars Blues

He sings "behind prison bars" blues
'cause he's walked in another man's shoes!
He feels so bereft
since identity theft
only works until one pays his dues.

Apple of My Eye

when you made that hot apple pie
then placed it to cool on the hutch
it was the apple of my eye
and it tasted like it was dutch

The Preciousness of Secrets

I guard every secret
without building a fortress
around it and not fear theft;
let battering storms attack it,
let ill-wishers envy it:
will their effort to bring it 
down affect my deep fondness?

Grandest Larceny

With lightest hand
and heavy heart

My pen runs dry,
bereft and stark

That never given,
I’m doomed to steal

The grandest theft 
—my words conceal

Black Fryday

the inlaws and outlaws have left
the turkey has so much less heft
got pies for the flies
and naps for the eyes
the icebox has suffered from theft

but

still got ‘nuff leftovers to make peach gobbler

Jocks As An Anti-Theft Device

The best anti theft lock for a car
Is appropriately stained jocks as the anti-theft bar
So have these jocks on the steering wheel
For a display to ward off the thief in their steal.
