We are

so well trained to be fluent in excuses,

stealing rarely looks like a crime. We dress it up,

polish it, give it hashtags and headlines—call it

sharing, fairness, freedom, progress. The poem that

follows dives into this polished deception, where

envy hides behind virtue and self-interest wears the

costume of good intentions.

It asks what really stops us from taking what we

want. Is it conscience—or just the lack of a good

slogan? Through sharp humor and vivid images, the

poem exposes how modern minds twist justice into

permission, how we moralize our hunger with clever

words like feminization, communization, and

collaboration
.

Here, the thief is not in the shadows but in plain

sight—on a podium, in a lab, in a meeting room—

explaining why their taking is “for the greater

good.” This preface is an open door into that world:

where envy writes manifestos, and every stolen

spark is lit by the warm

glow of reason.
