Pure Intentions

Pure Intentions

A Poem by Joey Martinez

It seems as though I have been destined to the cruelest of fate
A life without sin yet destined to hate 
The purest of heart yet no mutual mate 
Was I born too early or was I too late 
Yet still I search and I wait 
Such a burden such a weight 
No matter my intention there will always be tension 
No matter my action they have an evil reaction
No matter my pain they only seek gain
Why is it working against me why aren't they sane but then again what am I saying 
It seems as though my heart was only for playing 
I hope you know it's on the floor laying 
Like the ever changing  Summer breeze it is always swaying
Good and bad cold and hot 
A fool you take me do you not 
But you did not know of my special spot 
In between my brows my third eye rests in its slot 
On those I've assumed to have lead there hearts to rot 
The devils grip the tightest of knots
But fear not for this fate is not black 
Love for sure it does not lack 
Weather it be a grain or even a sack
Eventually to my lord my soul will go back
So you may hurt me 
But you can not see what I see 
For there are things greater than we 
Greater than a mountain or the sea 
He has dubed me greater than thee 
For fate brought us together for only one cause 
So that I may forgive you and right down this clause 
For if I harbor hate what good was my wait 
If it does not strengthen me what good is this weight 
It seems as though I was eating off his plate 
So that I may suffer and he would wipe my slate 
I hold this to be true that even with the best of intention you must always watch what you do
