Robbers

Clouds are robbers
That rob the sea
And spray the grass.
Philanthropists!
I salute you.

This is my mother tongue.

My land is free

The Kid Just Wanted To have The Candy

The kid was alone
had promised her mother
not to let
any stranger in.

The robber knew this
but he was wise
he stood up infront
of the glassed window of the house
where the kid could see him.

Punishable Bad Elements

The king / the ruler / justice who punishes
by killing / hanging the bad elements
after confirmation of the crime is justified;

It is similar to an agriculturist removing weeds
for the best yield of the cropful field!

(Punishable bad elements are those
who create nuisance to others;

by immolating others with fire,
by poisoning, killing by weapons,
burglers, highway robbery and dacoity,
and illegal contact with others' wife!)

Bank Robber Man

I was walking down the street today
Just as somebody blew the doors off of the B of A
Just then I head them call my name
As I was thrown against the car
I was being framed

All units we've got our man
We've got the bank robber man
We don't need no reason
You're going in the can
You look like the bank robber man
I think you misunderstand
Do you think that I am the one that did it
Just because I'm tan?
Just then the officer at hand said
I don't give a damn that you are in a rock and roll band

All units we've got our man
We've got the bank robber man
We don't need no reason

What sweetness is left in life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like robbing the world of the sun. A true friend is more to be esteemed than kinsfolk.

If once a man indulges himself in murder, very soon he comes to think little of robbing; and from robbing he next comes to drinking and Sabbath-breaking, and from that to incivility and procrastination.

If I could, I would stop the passage of time. But hour follows on hour, minute on minute, each second robbing me of a morsel of myself for the nothing of tomorrow. I shall never experience this moment again.
