An Every Day Robbery

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Feb 7, 2008


Broken glass, an open door
Missing is the household's T.V.
Torn out is each dresser drawer
The carpet covered with debris

Couch cushions ripped, nicknacks scattered
Broken plates, cabinets are bare
On the floor, mirror shattered
Feelings are purely of despair

The mattresses have been flipped
Computer's missing, no surprise
Bedside lamp and table tipped
Stolen are good kitchen supplies

The wedding dress held so dear
Necklaces and rings were not there
Rolling down her cheek a tear
Nothing to do, only to stare

The safe was cracked nothing left
Bits of their lives taken away
We were victims of a theft
It's a shame this happens each day

Just to clear things up...Yes I did mean to say we in the last stanza. It was suppose to stun the reader at the end...You go from a second person point of view and then all of the sudden...Wow it was the narrator the whole time.

    It was interesting, IT was well written so no complaints, but it just seemed a little random to me, maybe i just wasn't expecting something along these lines
