I said to my friend:
Thieves
How intrusive they are
Thieves
of children, of time, of lives, of reputation
Plagiarists
Kidnapers
Adulterers
Murderers
People who steal.
Without a thought
without a doubt
Without a care.
How entitled they feel
To take what belongs to you.
My friend answered:
How long it takes to raise a life!
How long it takes to live a life
day in day out
dreaming, hoping
and all of a sudden
some jackass just shoots you
And your future is changed
And your plans are dashed
And for some your hereafter comes sooner than you ever expected.
