90. Attention and intention

Attention he pays,
Intention he hides.
Indeed, this is the story
Of a human thief.

Attention he pays,
Intention he lacks.
Indeed, this is the story
Of a human rogue.

Attention he pays,
Intention he tries.
Indeed, this is the story
Of a sincere man.

Attention he pays,
Intention he fulfils.
Indeed, this is the story
Of a divine hero.
