Thief Worship

I never figured thievery for an attribute to find admirable, but as all too often happens to me, I find myself re-thinking my original position. As a matter of fact, I'm even considering taking up the trade as I've recently thought of One who was quite possibly the greatest of all at this particular craft. He was a true mastermind and in a class all His own when it came to the stealth-like attributes of the thievish.
I could never hope to be His equal though. As much as I hone my skills and submit myself to the discipline, I won't even come close. He's still my idol and the ideal to which I pattern my life. I found what works for me as I've heard one say of me, while I follow this master thief.
Maybe the irony of His death is that he spent His last hours between 2 other thieves. These couldn't hold a candle to my Master Thief though. You see, as the song plays and I think of how He was held (nailed) high, it proclaims:

I wanted you to know, I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away

and you wanna know what...He has.
