Serving time in the middle of nowhere
What does everybody think of these lyrics?

"Thives of Dreams"

What do they steal?
Why do they steal?
Haven't they there own?

Where?

Everywhere some child or innocet one has left them unprotected
Not of ignorance or shallow thinking
They arn't hidden do to love
Hope and a sincere belife in all men
There would be no need to bury them in dark, cold holes
Where no life could possibly spring from their loved thoughts
Wouldn't ever feel a need to lock them away either

What does a thief gain?

Unfortunately even the most ignorant,
vile and irresponsible idiot can gain from dreamers

How?

By aligining or shadowing those innocent, child-like, free and niave
that have proved to be gifted in any area
Stealthlike and paitently they wait for an idea
or gift they have no right to claim
Consuming and copying whatever has been offered up by those still free enough
inside to dream

When?

Every moment, every second day in and day out
throughout mankind it will never end for those selected few who have been chosen
or bestowed the honor

It is a fantastic and horrid breath that utters hope
that this love should be shared
Not raped or stolen?

My wish is not to punish the thieves
But simply be given a chance to dream or not

When I die, I feel it won't be from another's sword
But by the unstopable heartbeat of dreams

My own?

I think the perfector of the DDT should find another outlet for his creativity
because they suck!! (My opinion...And I'm sure opinions will vary.)
I think the words are great, but then again, I know his life story. The man has had a truly FUCKED UP life, and that poem refelects it. His deamons got the best of him many times, they stole his dreams, hence the title of the poem.

I think he's great! When I watched WWF in the mid to late 80's he was always one of my favorite wrestlers.....But your 1st post called this "Lyrics"
and I didn't see it.....But it does work as a poem.
