INTENTIONS

Tristan Robert Lange

Inevitably—whether good or pure—actions,
Not withstanding any real analysis,
Taken by individuals failing to
Examine their ideas or the surrounding world.
Never staying individual, these actions
Take globally the masses by surprise,
Intubating society with noxious gasses
Onrushing through tubes of moral suffocation.
Necrosis will spread unless we
Sever our selfish ignorance and learn.

    They say hell is full of good intentions. Nevertheless, I do believe intentions make some difference otherwise the law would not recognize them. There would be no difference between first-degree murder and manslaughter. A very thought-Provoking poem

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Oh, they make some difference for sure; however, too often people use their intentions as excuse to justify their actions...actions that can have extremely devastating consequences. But for sure, intentions do make a difference when determining what sort of person one is dealing with, which is why the law factors that in. For sure. Thank you again, my friend, for reading and engaging! 🖤❤️🖤🙏

      Ooh, “reality analysis“ sends shivers down along the spine!

        The message contained within held me throughout & felt so hugely important, that it was only later .. and thanks to your authors footnote, I realised there was an acrostic standing on the sideline .. 😎🖤👍

          Indeed! Glad you caught that! One more left in the series to be published tomorrow. This is the first time I have written a series of anything, let alone acrostics! It was a unique and rewarding challenge. Thank you so much, my friend, for your time, for your feedback, and and that the message resonated as important. That means a lot. Much appreciated! 🖤❤️🖤🙏

          Вау, ви гарно пишете, тут закладено дуже глибокий сенс. Основний посил, ймовірно, полягає в тому, що егоїзм, невігластво і відсутність глибокого розуміння того, що відбувається навколо можуть призвести до морального та соціального занепаду та руйнівних наслідків суспільству. Браво!👏

            Дякую Ганна! ❤️ Це дуже багато значить для мене. Ви абсолютно праві у своїй інтерпретації. Щиро дякую за читання та відгук.
