Stop Thief! Poem by Zyw Zywa

Stop Thief!



The staff members are the worst
they only do their job half way
spying on the chief
and each other, to blow with
the wind when it turns

They take care
of their career, what is good
for them is called good
for the cause, they hold on
and will spoil everything

Even if it's just hearsay
a good story is indestructible
It steals what you want to have
and you black-wash everyone who contradicts
to appear white yourself

while you are the first to cry
'Stop thief! '
with a passing side note
which amplifies the rumours
by contradicting them

This is a translation of the poem Houdt De Dief! by Zyw Zywa
