Bad Career Moves A Chosen Pursuit Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

that which you take unlawfully
which does not belong to you
is not cool dude choice or trendy

it is a sin funny sin is still in fashion?

stealing is free ticket to state penitentiary
all past good deeds are not submissible
do not equate to get out of jail free ticket

imprisonment a British holiday on the Queen
do the crime do the time when convicted dude
crime does not pay you are going to be caught

Why would any rational person make this choice?

Yes I know to feed your drug addiction alcoholism
gambling obsession shopping spree or your family?
Perhaps your illness needs are best solved differently?
