They must have done
something very brilliant
remarks the principal
of an Educare Centre
cannibalized

(there were
several sensors
and alarms were
in place)

who are the they
the scoundrel or scoundrels
who ransack and loot

They must have done
something very brilliant
(the security company
not even alerted
to their presence)

brilliant talented ingenious
clever skilled adroit

Could they not deploy
their expertise elsewhere
for the greater good

who are the they
what were their designs
(to feed a habit their habit
to feed their families)

we see far too many
a young mind wasted
being wasted and going
to waste too

They must have done
something very brilliant

after all is the battle not
won in the mind

and can the mind not
be a dangerous thing
