Mylonas the gangster who helps the law undercover says, ‘In this world, there are… those who think there are rules and those who don’t. And the men who think there are rules, they don’t stay in this world for long.’ However, his thoughts are not true, due to the below.
[1] Truthfulness
All appreciate truthfulness,
even criminals who work with one another
to lie to others, kill others, and steal from others,
who wish to not be lied to, killed, and stolen from.
[2] Honourability
Even those dishonourable
to many others
want honour
among themselves.
[3] What Matters More
This is why truthfulness
matters more than deceitfulness,
and honourability
is more powerful than dishonourability.
[4] Peace And Safety
All want peace and safety ultimately,
even criminals chaotic and violent temporarily,
which is part of their misguided quest
for peace and safety.
[5] Crimes Hitting Home
Crimes done to others
seem rather ‘harmless’
until one of the ‘others’
harmed is a loved one.
[6] Law’s Purpose
The law’s purpose is to rid the lawless evil,
not just to keep it in check,
which is to allow some evil to perpetuate,
which might eventually proliferate.
