Urban bereft

Take by force
A threat, violence
To personal property valuables
Steal or remove without right
Deprive their personal loot
Taken away and it’s expected
Withheld unjustly, most injuriously

Bereft to the utmost
Fierce by which
Property loot valuables
Withheld by violence
A silent but crushing sounding threat
Yet okay to unjustly steal away and be injurious
And it be expected due to lack

Deprived by force
The course
To steal something away
Being right to remove valuables

Just because contents are
In a space, not a place
Expect what you are due
Unjust, injurious desire
From personal property with rights
