Unreleased Poem

I forgot to put this one in my book, Orange Flavored Footnotes, until after it was published. Too bad, cause I actually liked this one. One day I may make it into a song.

Thieves

We are not fabricators
Mystic aviators wit built-in navigators
Dictators of some creative barometer
To some sort of soul we've yet to see

We are not fabricators
Initiators
Illuminators of vibrations in the cosmos we've yet to see

We are instigators
Cheap, sly laminators
Lamenting the laments of somebody else
We are administrators
We are animators
We are instigators.
It's our one true denominator
The Fleet-fingered flutist
The hot-handed harpist
The cat-napping composer
Thieves all.
Stealing toy trophies to rearrange
On the mantle pieces 
In a house we call our own

We are not fabricators
We are nasty nasty annunciators
So girls and boys,
Best become imitators
Originality is a coy.


"Poems are never finished, only abandoned" - Paul Valery

I think this would be a good song! Would it have a chorus and verses?
