Practitioners …of dirty dealing…

Signatories of forgeries…

 

Be… it, poet…

Prince or president

 

Masters of the flair

Clever …chaps or chicks…

 

Learn the pattern

Of the magic …of the game…

 

Being, sly …slick…

Wicked ways to create

The shadow of a doubt…

 

And nuances…

Of the required …double dealing…

To create the maze…   

 

The  

Fine arts of pilferage…

 

Sleight …of hand…  

To gain …advantage…  

 

Perhaps …a clever ruse

To turn the crowd

 

No rules…

Therefore, no limit

To what ruse …may be avowed…

 

Murder, mischief…  

 And all manner of mayhem…

 

Lying, cheating and stealing…

Misrepresenting truth in every form

 

Practice their art

Trading blows, setups…

 

Dress …rehearsals…

 

For the roles they’ll play

And the price they’ll pay

 

For failure…

 

If crime don’t pay…

The boss… won’t play…

 

Punishment …is swift…

Consequences, deadly

 

Setting up marks…

So demanding…

Requires careful planning…

 

And/or

Unerring instinct…

 

 

Pickpockets, purse snatchers…

 

Bush-wackers and waylayers

Beggars and thieves

 

Backstabbers

Con men and rollers…

The devil himself

Might …be proud…

 

Ill intentions

 

Darken the days

Of innocent victims

 

As long shadows,

Begin to advance

 

Like markings

On a sundial…

Penetrate the last

Mark of the day’s light

 

As lazy silhouettes

Merge and blend

 

Creating the wall…

Turning day

 

…into night
