If There Were No Such Things As Thieves

If there were no such things as thieves I would simply assume I lost my stuff Yet there they are crawling around town Making daily life unnecessarily tough If there were no such things as thieves I know what is lost can’t be found Yet there they are crawling around town Always claiming items unbound If there were no such things as thieves Thought of conspiracies wouldn’t exist in my mind Yet there they are crawling around town Causing my brain to go on a memory grind If there were no such things as thieves None of my hair would turn white Yet there they are crawling around town Making me look behind my shoulder in fright If there were no such things as thieves I would less likely doubt my sanity Yet there they are crawling around town Sneaking stuff from my room to suit their vanity If there were no such things as thieves Greed would weaken by the hour Yet there they are crawling around town Granting it an abundance of power If there were no such things as thieves I would never harm anyone in sight Yet there they are crawling around town Inciting a good excuse for a rampaging fight If there were no such things as thieves I would release a sigh of relief Yet there they are crawling around town Creeping even through the murkiest of reefs If there were no such things as thieves I would finally relax without stress Yet there they are crawling around town Never giving me a moment’s rest
