he lied

to his family

he spied

on his victims

he grabbed

their bags

he slashed

their pockets

took

their wallets

and gadgets

he cried

in front

of the uniformed people

he acted

like a tamed fox

behind the cold

unforgiving metal bars

but he knew

his overwhelming

desire

and rumbling

hungry stomach

constantly

pushes him to remain

the boy

he has been

the boy he

will always be...

a pickpocket.
