Theft

Ha, HA, Ha, HA.

Do you want this back?

Or should I keep it in my sack.

Or should I take this fickle thing,

that which once would dance and sing.

And take its parts one by one,

And burn them as if they touched the sun.

Or better yet, I have another plan,

Let me fry it in a pan.

Or should I but give it back,

Give that which you have a lack.

Ha, did you expect such pity?

And leave you be to sing a ditty.

Such pity I have not for you,

Through more pain I must put you through.

You see my cold, lifeless little man,

One who can barely stand?

This you did give to me freely.



Without thought.

Without a care for such things I could do to it.



Without these things you did give this to me,

And now only in the end you see.

What happens to this is not my fault,

For I know not that I harm it.

If I did, surly I would put it too a halt,

For it is you that causes this empty pit.

There are literally millions of poems that have been written on the subject over history, and yet very few of them deal with the issue from that perspective. Interesting work.
