Nightmare

Do not kill me
I am not a criminal
What is my crime?
I just said
don’t steal Our common wealth again

Hungry birth criminals
And how many criminals
Have you birth?
Greed has no cure
You will die wanting

And leave us with bunch
Of innocent children as criminals
How do you care?
Stones don’t have blood
Neither do walls cry

Let me ask you
Who is even a criminal?
The one stealing
Or One who says stop stealing
Our common wealth?
I am not a criminal
Don't label me one
