THICK AS THIEVES
lots of writers getting taken out
these days
necessary evil
since they
thick
as thieves
stealing oxygen, stealing
comforts, stealing ideas,
lucky that running total
gone exponential
poets, thinkers, prophets,
novelists, satirsts,
investgative journalists
only got themselves to blame
for rocking the, boat,
refusing to believe
what has always
been clear
we simply have to believe
