The Reboot Ep. 3

Word of Mouth (Gossip Circles)
By: Uriah “The CivILLian” Walters

They told me what happened
The other day at the place.

One man said it was a robbery.
A man used a few tools
Just to get a few jewels.
Enough for him to buy toilets with golden stools
Just to make the people who owned it look like fools.

"That's not what really happened"
Was the words of another man

*******

Gossiper 2: The owner was home
The reaction wasn't pleasant
Could've been the best robbery
Had he wouldn't have miscalculated
By one second.

And for that second, he was thrown in prison.

Gossiper 3: But also I heard that he made an escape
Slipped out of his cell
And even left from the state.

Gossiper 2: Wait a minute, where did you learn this from?
He didn't escape
He never left the cell.
You might as well call that his new home
When it comes to being locked-up he is no genius.
He has no crafty skills
No constructive mind spills
It's just someone else trying to make a steal
Who just got caught
Against his will...

Gossiper 1: No, No, No,
You guys are all wrong

He never got caught by police.
As soon as he left the house
To his unbelief, the cops stood outside.
Now, he didn't give in that easily,
This was just the start of his joyride.
Pulling off, he steers left and right
Top speed, practically out of sight.
The police might as well give up
It's obvious they can't catch up.
Not with their little government whips
That vehicle of theirs can't even pull off any tricks.
So the siren dies out in the background,
And the thief gets away without a sound.

Gossiper 4: The chase was not at all that simple
Law enforcers happen to be alot more nimble.

When someone is labeled a criminal
Cops will maximize the seriousness
No matter how much the crime was considered minimum.
They did lose him at first,
That is until the foot hits the pedal,
Making the exhaust of the engine's burst.
Blast off down the road they go
Cars swerving
Blue and Red lights flashing so close
It gets you to be unnerving.

Debater 1: But this man can't lose confidence.
To get freedom taken away...
He might as well end this chase unconscious

This theft of his can't be done in vain
Can it?

Debater 2: No, he needs these royalties attributed to his name.
With a few quick turns through alleyways and passages
The robbery will be successful
By whomever travels the road fastest.

Gossiper 1: And from there, he fled to another country

Gossiper 3: I heard he went to London

Gossiper 4: No, he's in Mexico

Gossiper 5: Yeah, he owns a business there now
Due to his invested money

He sells ball caps
Along with hotdogs & chips.
He gave my friend some drugs
Just for the hustle respects.

Gossiper 6: Actually, He just gives to the poor.

Debater 1: To the poor?

Gossiper 6: He felt it was imperative to steal
To give to whomever needed it more.
See, you must always look around and explore the person's motives.
It's not just beneficial to his status.
He even stole a house and sold it
To the highest bidding gambler.

Debater 3: You're lying, how did he do that?

Gossiper 6: Ah, good question
To which I do not know the answer

Gossiper 1: You mean you didn't hear about the fire arsenal he had stolen?
He took shovels and drills,
Planted bombs beneath the house.
The ground shook with such an explosion,

And the house flew 10 miles high in the sky.
Then 20, Now 50
It even flew passed to where the planes fly by.
Then it dropped at an incredible speed,
Miraculously landed,
Intact!!!
And with a new location it seems.
Now that's outstanding.

Debater 3: And you said he sold this house?

Gossiper 6: Yeah, he sold it to the man he stole it from
Just to get some money from him
And then some.

Debater 3: And then some?

Gossiper 1: Yeah the owner doesn't know who stole his house from him
He sees the thief as a hero
For bringing the house back to him.

He was willing to pay 5 million dollars.
Now that's 3 times what was originally paid,
But the bids had forced him to go farther
And the theif gets away with ALL of that.

Gossiper 4: All from a house robbery
To a house given back.

Debater 2: Well, whatever happened to him?

Gossiper 6: He was caught by the police
After all of this time
Finally put in a penitentiary

Gossiper 1: No, he never made it to jail

Gossiper 2: Yes he did, but he never made bail

Gossiper 3: The cops once again failed

Gossiper 4: This was a plan that he nailed

Gossiper 5: ...Now he ships illegal merchandise through mail...

*******

-_-'.... And that's when I decided never to go by these word of mouth gossip circles ever again. Just an impulse of false conversation, fueled by our own creative authorization...

...But then again, that may not be too bad... :)!!!
