The Logic Of The Law

When I was taught to believe The Bible
I do wish my teachers had been clearer
about property law ancient and modern.
-how if something is on a person's land
and anyone goes to steal it,
by means that are legal or illegal,
then it is axiomatic that the thief
also commits trespass to complete the act
and when they defend the theft they will lie.

With the absoluteness of property
and the nature of the law, 
wanting what others have is jealousy,
taking is always more than theft
and we will always break more laws
by what we do than ever we expect it to.

Biblically, God has to be a jealous God
and we should fear jealousy in ourselves,
and our jealousy will never be like his,
and ontologically he is always right.
