Written due to a mugger trying to get my purse in a local store 2 months ago

[Julie Franco]

Slow soft touch with
A gentle slow lift

A quick glare fills the air
Your hand not ought to be there
What were in your minds thoughts?
That would have made us aware

Hand reaches in
Stopping your stupid whim
While you realise you’ve just committed sin

You show shock why?
Do you think I was blind?
As I stare back through my thick dark looking glass

Your tail fly’s close behind
As you run with all your might

Leaving your victim
Standing still
Relived her purse is still intact

What made you do this kind of act?
Surely you didn’t think you had the right

Small in stature with long black hair
Don’t you care?
What’s the story behind your big brown eyes?

Maybe I should have let you take it empty as it was
Then maybe you would have learnt your lesson
Don’t judge a book by its cover
I wasn’t a good choice for your chosen endeavour

One ripped card that doesn’t work
No lose change would you of found
You have know idea how
That makes me smile

Maybe someday I’ll realise why
