over intent
please think about import
over which do you have control
just one
which and who is right?
many different viewpoints
can each be correct?
indeed, each can be correct
no one is wrong or at fault
unique perspectives
brains sort and sift grains of truth
six senses receive
minds’ founders form our mentions
for respect and discussion
sigh, philosophy
love of wisdom and knowledge
yet humans compete
try prove them more ethical
what utter fucking hubris
who are we to judge
when we can’t stand in their shoes
sure, can sympathize
perhaps even empathize
but I will never be you
