Intend Intent
the matter of intent or the intent to matter
it only matters what I intend
if I have something to say
I will say it
if not,
I will not
if just to be significant
that would be insignificant
if I'm intending to engage because
it is my need to engage
then I am the meaning I intend
If I engage because I've meaning
then the meaning is what is meant
this world is full of need
and we all have ours
and it should be served
but to subjugate yours
only to serve mine
in the end, serves no one
it only matters what I intend
if I have something to say
I will say it
if not,
I will not
if just to be significant
that would be insignificant
if I'm intending to engage because
it is my need to engage
then I am the meaning I intend
If I engage because I've meaning
then the meaning is what is meant
this world is full of need
and we all have ours
and it should be served
but to subjugate yours
only to serve mine
in the end, serves no one
