Now, in a court of law
Intention becomes a part
‘Thought and Will’ on trial
Conjecture, a legal start

Action, Will, Intention
A psyche predisposed
From an inside Source or outward
Influence clearly grows

Overt, covert intention
Self-serving, to say the least
Achieve in time, through perseverance
Perhaps robbing others of their peace

My writing began so long ago
Ideas capture my attention
It seems to me the writing of
Releases their retention *1

Personal, no question
But in observations seen
Others too affected
And everything in-between

Footnotes:

*1 I had observed years back that when I wrote, either people (some people)
began to see more then they had; or I was just seeing what they already
saw. There were many people with whom I had close contact that seemed to
shift in perspective, so it made me wonder about whether, somehow, I’d had
an affect or not. It’s still a matter of speculation.
