Banditry, or outlawry, refers to the life and practice of bandits or outlaws which the Oxford English Dictionary defines as "one who is proscribed or outlawed; hence, a lawless desperate marauder, a brigand: usually applied to members of the organized gangs which infest the mountainous districts of Italy, Sicily, Spain, Greece, and Turkey." But the OED also states that in modern usage it may be used as a synonym for gangster, hence the term "one-armed bandit" for gambling machines can leave the gambler with no money.
The term bandit (introduced to English via Italian around 1590) originates with the early Germanic legal practice of outlawing criminals, termed *bannan (English ban). The legal term in the Holy Roman Empire was Acht or Reichsacht, translated as "Imperial ban".[citation needed]
About 5,000 bandits were executed by Pope Sixtus V in the five years before his death in 1590, but there were reputedly 27,000 more at liberty throughout central Italy.
Banditry was one of the most common peasant reaction to oppression and hardship. The growth of warlord armies in China was also accompanied by a dramatic increase in bandit activity in the republican period; by 1930 the total bandit population was estimated to be 20 million.

Genres: ,With me now
Is the eye of the bandit
His ways of shame
between my clenched teeth
The sores of the road
The sores of the road between us
Sees the glimpse
And stares at the sun
I deliver
I deliver the eye of the bandit
Through a crack in the window
Mechanically
He smiles through the fumes
And the road opens
It appears as his crime
The morale of the bandit
Tattooed on my neck
Its ways of nature
Scribbled on our wreck
The engine. bandit
Fuelled on women and men
The vehicle raging
