Intentionment



Intentionment.
Meant intended.
With a blueprinting,
Of a proactive planned strategy.
Acknowledged by others,
To have given their conscious consent.
Would be difficult to address this expressed,
As an innocent activity expected accepted.

'Uh...
Go on.
Continue your unique explanation.'

Thank you, Your Honor.
You see,
From my clear...
And unblemished point of view.
Anyone, like myself,
Who has been victimized by someone else.
Would find themselves used yet accused,
Of misunderstanding...
A role to play of their own involvement.

'Go on continue with your vision.'

Regardless of suspicions they may have,
People like myself...
Can get caught up in not knowing,
Decisions made by those they follow.
As a child I was told to eat my vegetables.
And my muscles would grow.
Although when I grew up,
I began to hate vegetables.
To discover my muscles were still growing.

'Ummm...
Is there more?'

Yes, Your Honor.
Even though the evidence provided to you,
Of me observed on the scene.
Participating cheerfully,
In a destructive activity.
I had no idea,
How serious this destruction would become.
All I ask is for just a bit of empathy.

'Are you finished,
With this tearful defense of yours?'

Yes.

'Now.
Let me remind everyone in this courtroom.
Deliberate acts committed deliberately,
Are deliberately committed acts.
To enact and perform with deliberation.
A deliberation not to confuse,
With childish juvenile intention to be meant.'

Your Honor?
Is it at all possible,
You could simplify what you just said?
You see...
My pay scale is extremely on the low end.
I am hoping,
With the authority you have.
You could find it in your heart,
To cut me some slack?
I only intended with others like myself,
To bring attention to our lack...
Of excellent and caring parenting.
And not being disciplined,
When we were children begging for it.
To then learn SANTA CLAUS,
Had been a fraud alcoholic.
Lieing about toys we would get,
That never came to come delivered.

'And this...
You claim is your defense of being deceived.
So you and the others,
Decided to destroy your own way of life.
To claim you have been,
With an intention meant and planned...
And,
With your acknowledgement and consent...
Given to be victimized!'

Yes.

'Do you realize how stupid this sounds?

'No, your Honor, I don't.
However...
If it is possible to get a lighter sentence,
I can come up with some stuff...
Even more stupid than that!'
