Analysis of What Is Meant To Intend



That which is meant to intend,
Inflicted upon the innocent.
To begin it to go around.
Can be eventually observed to witness,
Chipping away...
A peace to believe,
Coming down to the ground.
Piece by piece.
From a power released.
No empire defending,
What is perceived untouchable stability.
No longer stays to be seen,
Powerful.
Without sorrows of its people,
Immuned from an unseen suffering.
Mentally with no remedy to end!

This creation,
Is a man-made tragedy.
Meant to intend in the presence of God.
With prayer to claim kept,
Devoted and faithful.
Yet...
Attempting to erase what God has made,
Can never replace...
The heartache and pain to eliminate,
What human beings do to themselves.
Consciously.
To assume God anticipates their stupidity.
With forgiveness quickly to them given!

What fools do we choose to prove to be?
And...
To celebrate the effectiveness of it!
