Theives Like Us

We took what was not our own

We lived comfortably in homes built by the hands of others

We dined at a strangers table and sipped wine from grapes we did not crush

We spent the wealth of others frivolously and without regard

Living as kings we were truly fools, on a fools errand, with nothing but poverty ahead

'Narcissus' by Caravaggio
