Analysis of Thief of moon



All time have share of good and bad
Despite scriptures,law and punishment
Criminals thrive in all times
Do the crime in hope of strong crime-nexus
Wherever may hide the thief of moon
He may be caught soon
Wherever he may hide
There will spread light very wide
Light of moon reveals his location well
Dwelling in heaven or in hell
Similarly, murder can't be concealed
Like happiness, coughing and chewing of betel leaf with ingredients poured.
