The Subtle Thief
Fences, walls, barriers, guards, safes, bank accounts, credit cards, wouldn’t protect you. Caught, he wouldn’t be sued before the court though he has stolen the richest thing that is even more than all the world’s riches.
Something like this is depicted on a billboard in Jakarta with the words “not just any man” who succeeded to steal, her heart, an angel in a barren desert, so it seems to say.
Her eyes are lovelier, brighter than the most precious stones.
Her whisper divine music.
When she comes I forget all
And I don’t care,
Whether tomorrow is Doomsday.
So he sings.
