A common thief

Philippians 2:3 

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

 

A common thief

 

Traveling through the desert … destiny unknown

Looking for a rainbow and the mysterious pot of gold

Seeing in the distance all my little clones

Searching for the same as depravity unfolds

 

Where are the cloud by day and the fire by night?

Where is the Promised Land I saw on the roadmap?

I don’t always play but surely look for any fight

To beat someone to pumice before I myself get zapped

 

I am a strong defender for what I believe

I guess I give my life for what I stand for

I am not a pretender just a common thief

Who through strife hungers for much more
