A Misfit Among Misfits - Be Respectful, Advises The Vandal

The vandal is a coward
A coward of the law
Defying it for gain
And leaving without a trace

Yet for all the vandal does
The vandal seems quite noble
With talks so very plenty
Of the meaning of respect

How can they have respect?
Respect is not of the vandal
Perhaps what we think
Of vandals is not enough

For Robin was a vandal
So known for his great deed
He had his own respect
Unbound by the rule of law

Some would say that’s not true
“Robin is no vandal”
And that would be quite true
Thieves are not always vandals

Vandals go to devalue
To destroy and deface
Not all carry a high motive
Most tend to have low minds

Though is not rebellion
A way to devalue?
Rebellion possibly
Can have some nobility

So can one not do the act
Of noble vandalizing
In the name of freedom
And with higher purpose?

I would not deny it
But vandals are vandals
Their methods are risky
And their words are quite flimsy

They can be pretentious
They can be dangerous
Though I know they are tempting
For we all want to vandalize
To ensure our points are fully made
