They Steal Their ChancesToBeFree

They slip into the evening places,

Into the crawl spaces of night ...

They disappear into the darkness shadows

Thinking their deeds are out of sight.

They steal from one another their chances to

be free,

They eat the bread they think so sweet when

eaten secretly.

They do forsake the sacred and immerse in the unclean;

They combine unholy mingle that forges consequence unseen.

They think not that a marriage may be union from above;

She betrays her husband, while her suitor steals his love.

But they steal from one another their chances to be free,

They destroy their souls through wickedness

by what they thinks done secretly.
