Thought Thief

You think that you are really slick/ You think that you can get away/ You think you can just steal my ideas/ You think you won’t have to pay/ You feign an ignorant innocent face/ To hide you’re a liar and thief/ How you can still look yourself in the eye/ Is really beyond belief/ How stupid, callous, and naïve/ Must you truly be to believe/ That anyone could read these words/ And not know they come from me/ See stealing is stealing be it money or words/ Be it jewelry or even a car/ There are no degrees of larceny/ A thief is still what you are/ So any who read these words that I wrote/ Knows who owns each rhyme and phrase/ And they’re all laughing behind your back / And smiling to your face/ If you’re upset now, you see yourself/ This poem is all about you/ Don’t worry you can always lie again/ And say you wrote this one too.
