Deliberate

Deliberate

Every single thing I do is deliberate and is planned,
Every word and every action and the place that I stand,
Has been considered in the cold and in the full,
And deliberate is the word for every conscious pull.

I am the deliberate man in the most complete expression,
Not the reactive and not the impulsive and not the session,
Of the moment and the heat and the immediately spent,
But deliberate is the word for all my cold intent.

Deliberate, the cold and comprehensive and the planned,
Deliberate, the fury with the specific in the hand,
Of the calculated and the patient and the know,
Deliberate is the coldest kind of fury in the low.

Every deliberate action has been preceded by the thought,
Every deliberate expression has been cold
and calculated, brought,
To the moment of the reckoning with everything intact,
And deliberate is the word for the cold and patient act.

The deliberate man knows the value of the chosen time,
The deliberate man knows the value of the deliberate rhyme,
Of action and intention and the calculated end,
And deliberate is the fury and the fury will not bend.

I have been deliberate through the years of the long hold,
I have been deliberate through the patience and the cold,
Of every season of the vigil and the watch and the keep,
And deliberate is the fury and the fury does not sleep.
