The Eighth Commandment (arranged)

My God, how often burns your heart to know that what you want
Belongs to others, and you are incapable to earn it.
While just imagine that you have that THING in your possession,
How beautiful your life would be—more meaningful and passionate!
It’s true in many cases:
No one will give you mercy.
Each call for “fair shares” is unequal as a die,
When life is not “inclusive”,
Your feelings are intrusive,
And envy pushes souls to steal before their very eyes!
What’s stopping us from taking, then? An excuse to moralize?
So, find the right appealing words, pave roads to Paradise!
“Feminization!”
Excused by passion.
Let’s free your long-devoted wives from marriage obligations!

If someone owns a violin that's made by Stradivari
But he has never played such a piece of beauty, contrarily.
Could it be better, then: the guild would be a fairer owner?
No matter how, no matter who, but not a greedy loner?!
Fat envy, thievery’s mother, by preaching “good for others”
Guilt-trips the individual to give up such a gem.
Who cares for his ancestors? The violin's successors?
They're gone. Their efforts and regards:
The owner’s just a shadow's guard.
What’s stopping us from stealing it? An excuse to moralize?
Then find correct appealing words, pave roads to Paradise!
“Communization”
“For the sake of t’ Nation!"
“This treasure wasn’t made by you”: a famous explanation!
III
When a crazy scientist works alone on a concept or a rocket
What role falls to the rest of us to praise a brand-new prophet?
Our team is great; we blog thumbs up. Wish: “Have a good weekend!”
Whereas he’s a lonely introvert, from day one to the end.
His life is so dramatic, from t’ basement to the attic.
If he should reach what teams can’t, we stand to lose our pants.
So, we’ll set many meetings to argue analytics,
Belated scream:” It was my dream!” fades out in a team!
We do small talk; we’re sweet and nice; we are wowing spiders, pets, and mice.
But not the individuals who thwart our Paradise.
“Communication!”
“Team work creation!”
It is the way to steal one’s thoughts, and a perfect explanation!
