Bandit By Night

Out in the moon
Morning is soon
Running, running, gone
Just as it turns dawn

Playing cat and mouse
Avoiding the bird house
Running, running, here I am
I'm just one big sham

A gentleman by day, bandit by night
A tuxedo and bow-tie when in sight
But a bandanna, and gloves when running
Just a scoundrel with a pistol in hand, gunning

Steal to live, live to steal
What guilt is there to feel
A poor man's fate twined with addiction
What's your prediction 

Fade, fading, faded
My figure shaded
The bank was raided
No tongues to tie, I was unaided

Flaunt, flaunting, flaunted
The law has been daunted
And I'm dearly wanted
Yet here I stand, undaunted

I like how you covered all the aspects of the life of a bandit. A good rhyming was added for a good effect. Bravo, sir...:).....
