A thief

Money and wealth
what's there to steal
poor have nothing
yet some steal their two meals

Give credit where due
and respect one's feelings
even a thief is richer
by what he steals

Who plans by night
and feigns ignorance
when it's day time
his intention is not right

Means are important
they meet a good end
when end is everything
there is no rest and peace

A thief is no thief
who makes his two ends meet
but one's conscience who steals
he is a thief indeed!
