If The Thief Had Lived

 If the thief had lived 

He’d have fucked it up

He’d have fallen down 

He would have sucked 

Every drop of blood

From that forgiveness cup

And his golden efforts 

Brown enough

Only for 

The bowl to flush

And my father once told me 

About a man of homilies 

Who said if you could lose salvation's crown 

It would be better if we held them down

In the baptistery 

And let them drown


Fortunately for himself, the thief died 

And that day was welcomed to paradise.
