An American Thief

 AN AMERICAN THIEF

The quotation in the second stanza is Ephesians 4:28
from the Contemporary English Version of the Bible.

"Old thieves never die,"
said a thief on facing his
thirteenth robbery
charge. "They only steal away."
Once a thief, always a thief?

"If," as Saint Paul said,
"you are a thief, quit stealing.
Be honest and work
hard, so you will have something
to give to people in need."

Monty Gilmer
