A theft in progress

Listen man,

This isn't going to be
Just another bad day
Because I've had one to many
Now someone has to pay

Today is the day
Where the culmination of stress
Is finally too much
And now I socially regress
Back to fight or flight
Back to an eye for an eye
I can't see clearly
'Cus they already took mine

I've got nothing against you
I don't want to end your life
But I'm under a circumstantial thumb
And now your under my knife

But this ain't no nip and tuck
This is a snatch and grab
I want you too empty out all the cash
And put it into this bag.

~~~

Listen son,

What the fuck are you doing?!
I won't start an interrogation
But you say your life's out of your control?
No, You choose this situation

You picked up that blade
And burst into my store
Decided my life is worth less
Then the sum of cash in this draw

It saddens me to say
I've been involved in robbery before
I have a life outside this shitty job
And I don't want to be a corpse

So I'm not going to struggle
Or do anything rash
But it's monday morning
And there is no cash.

~~~

You don't know my situation!
Don't underestimate this malcontent
Your life is valuable, But I will end it
Because your life won't pay my rent

Your life won't feed my child
And put a roof over our head
It wont bring the gold digging whore
Known as my wife, back to my bed

You can't reimburse my ex-employer
For the damage I did
When I was fired for being late
After caring for my kid

Your life won't stop the cancer
Savaging my daughters brain
But your life can facilitate me cash
So I can alleviate my pain

So put some money in my palms
And you'll never see me again
If you don't I'll cause you harm
In unimaginable ways.

~~~

I'm sorry for your child
My mother lost her battle with cancer
But your story won't justify your actions
Or change my answer

I have nothing to give you
No cash or magical cure
I can't solve the problems
That brought you to my door

The only thing I can be sure of
Is violence points you in the wrong direction
I see you, and your knife
And a scared man in it's reflection

Now you don't know my situation either
I've seen some terrible things
Evil acts find evil people
Now I know what karma means.

~~~

Your wasting your precious little time
with this religious rhetoric
All people are potentially evil
If their very life depends on it

And my life depends on this
I'm desperate not vindictive
But I hit rock bottom
Rock hit me back, smack is addictive

I don't know why I inflict this
Pain upon myself
My baby girl was taken away
Now I have nothing else

If evil finds evil
Then I'm bad fucking company
Now I'm going to slit your throat
and take your cash for my drugs money.

~~~

The second you move
I'll shoot you where you stand
Since you walked through the door
I've had a pistol in my hand

Our brief dialogue
was your chance of redemption
seems you have refused
but before we part, I must mention

The robbery I spoke of in the past
Was an horrific scene
When my mother passed
My mental state was obscene
My life was destroyed
Torn apart from the seams
The only sense of control I felt
Was through violent means

So I stole and I killed
Till my lust's had subsided
I met my wife who saved me
In her I confided
Now we have a beautiful family
and a safe home to reside in.

I swore my evil lusts
Would never be reignited
But evil acts find evil people

And so we have collided.
