Innocence of the thief

She didn't win.

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

The thief was acquitted of the charge

So he began to strut happily

And his crime increased his cunning

So he began to flirt happily

And his crime increased his boldness

For without him he lived in misery

If the thief is caught, he is released

The system is like a theater

And outside the prison he struts and is not

tried, this is out of ambition

So, thief, steal our places

With every attack, rest and relax

As if the government told him

Stay awake, steal goods and do no harm

Because no one judges

If there is no trace that can be erased

If you are stealing our wealth

For others from all of us, make way

We will seek to erase the sins, so no

A file was opened... and you were not exposed

And if they ask you about the money, say

What is mine and yours is... Do not disclose it

And if you say: I know, you see that they are all

On you, so you did not succeed

For people are nothing but Ignorant, they do not

know... In the difference between us there is kindness

So thief, live in peace, for

He who strays from the majority will not quarrel with you

So thief, if what you hope for today is lost from you, you have not won

So thief, steal as you wish, for people will not

be held accountable for it, for it has not been comfortable

So thief, steal as you wish in

your life, open the door to invention
