The Moment Before Release

Just before release comes a surge of adrenaline A high that accompanies the accomplishment In some cases, that moment can harbor clues As to what the perpetrator of the action meant. Amazing the impact of a single, solitary moment Just before release comes a surge of adrenaline It’s as though one actually loses consciousness Will the act bring remorse, or will it be okay then? It’s said hindsight is better than foresight, fine, In analyzing, this is true, but thinking before doing Just before release comes a surge of adrenaline Knowing the results beforehand is worth pursuing. The moment in question is often rather elusive Just where shall the blame be placed? Is it mine? Mother Nature seems to have made it conducive Just before release comes a surge of adrenaline.

Excellent Milton, a surge of adrenaline can go straight to the head, and often does, Can it be controlled, perhaps but takes years of proper training, I think the Seeker will totally get this one, best of luck in the contest, cheers David

Thanks, David. I wasn't really sure what he was looking for, but this idea came to mind as I pondered how juries often have to make decisions based on what they think the accused had in mind right before committing the crime.
