I am a thief

You read that you are a thief

Did I see a thief a thief
A thief is a man of desires
A thief has a mother
A thief had a mother

A thief is a decorated mind
A never ending river
A never ending rain
A never ending thought.

A thief has a father
A thief had a father
Never punishing for errors
Never nurturing with love.

Every soul walking here are thiefs
Taking treasures from others
Looking and laughing
Pretending every walking souls are fools.

Truth is a mystery
Decorating the thiefs
Running fast as one can
To escape from penalty.

Arundass TP,

Thou art a wisdom's sage and a philosopher, as well as a fine Poet.

The undeniable fact is, we ARE all (each and every one of us) thieves by that very defintion wherein it is ascertained as to what a thief is. And as such in that very sugar coated way that we Humans console and reassure ourselves each and every time our mouth call and refer to murder as killing, simply because the murdering is done in the name of War ... Good thoughts here ...

Thought provoking.
It both humanizes the thief and makes the reader realize they too are a thief. I like that!
I suppose thievery is part of the human condition.
Nicely done!

Awesome writing skills with a deep effective message that once a thief is always a thief. Skillful poetry my friend.

All the stories attached to 'bad decisions' can show the depth and heart of the people that chose them. This is a beautiful piece about how life shapes us and how few words can convey a world of struggle. Amazing job :)

Food for thought; I have to think about your thoughts. Some powerful lines and contemplations.
You seem to be a poet and a social reformer. Thank you for sharing.

A thief? Hmm.

More like the ungrateful son.. That's what our species is to the world.

In our lives. Yes, we're all thieves in one way or another (not literally speaking)
But I guess that's just how we are.
Fragile, full of pain and sometimes there's that gaping void within that nothing can fill..regardless of how much we take and what we create..


Maybe I've read too much into it. Still, nicely written.

[Arundass TP]

Thanks friend

Sure thing.

Yes indeed I agree, education begins at home and that very much includes setting moral principles but this must always be coupled with parental love, without such caring emotion from the onset, it's very propable a child could develope unsavourary traits & characteristics, a thief being one for example ..

Interesting, intriguing poetic philosophy, kudos!!
