Saintly Bandit

One is a bandit, two are saints

Life is a cycle

Time is a straight line

But, Regrets will find their way into both


One is a bandit, two are saints

Money could buy wisdom

Wisdom could make money

But pride finds a way into both



One is a bandit, two are saints

The illiterate may not be innocent

The innocent may not be literate

But poverty has an affinity for both


Corruption captivates a nation’s productivity

Productivity entices corrupt minds

But policies would moderate both

Finally, one is a saint, two are bandits


Two familiar bandits are better

Far better than one strange saint
