A Las Vegas tourist turned criminal
I try not to think about it, because I'm just a man,
Some call it heartless but there really is no plan

You should not be afraid, on you I do not prey,
I'm as normal as they come, that's at least what I say

Whether I'm with family & friends or just all alone,
There's something inside, that is the unknown

If you're careless or unaware, please do take heed,
It's the feeling that I have on which I must feed

We are all human and can forget at times,
Like drugs to an addict, you've just provided me with mine

If called a criminal, should I not be mad,
I really don't agree and you may think that is sad

It was there when you left and you know that for a fact,
Along here I come and on this I must act

You just provided me with yours to add to my list,
They may call me a thief; but I say .....OPPORTUNIST
