Crime and Punishment

sonnet in tetrameter

 

Crime and punishment

 

God helps those who help themselves.

Which they will need if the choose to

help themselves to what is mine.

Because I feel entitled to.

protect that which belongs to me.

By any method that I choose

I will not hesitate at all.

Its heads I win and tails you lose.

I have no time for those who thieve.

There’s no excuse for what they do.

They won’t enjoy when they receive

 the punishment I think is due.

Although I act outside the law.

I’m sure you won’t come back for more.
