A poem describing the guilt of a child who has stolen a particular object from his school…
The Guilt
Josh was a good person,
He would never go cursin’,
He was very smart
And made good Art,
And their was never a sin he’d do…
He never knew what he would do
But what you do, you cannot re-do,
But he was tempted,
Anyone would have attempted
He never knew what he would feel…
So on a single morning,
As sun was dawning,
He saw that thing,
He knew what it would bring,
But what else could he do…
He snatched it from the floor,
And slid out the door,
And took it there,
But why here?
It was the only safe place left…
He snuck back in
He knew his sin,
He hoped no one would mind,
And that they’d all be that blind,
But that’s what only he thought…
When school was done
He’d have to run
But than should I go slow
No one would know
He had to get home hidden…
But than came the warning,
On the next morning,
There was a crime,
And it only be time,
Until they would lock on…
He got home in one piece
But he got no peace
Because the conscious came in,
But it had just started to begin,
Namely a bad feeling came in him…
He felt really bad
But it was worse than bad
It would chase him
Into that corner so very dim,
There was no escape from the guilt…
There was no where to go,
And no one would ever know,
But the only thing he’d ever get,
Was a heart full of regret,
What would ever become of Josh…
