'CONSCIENCE'

An eternal ringing
Sounds through the ages,
It comes a calling
At all those stages,
It knocks and bangs
On all our souls,
Until we hear
Its infernal call,
And even then
It doesn't soften,
It echoes still
And further often,
When ignored it won't relent
And when acknowledged,
It leaves a dent
A sizely hole,
In you and those you love,
Your head feels the drumming
Even if you can't see it coming,
And your heart feels its pressure
Beyond any measure,
Yet we all live through the days
Ignoring its simple plea,
"Listen to your heart!'
It cries,
Just listen to your heart.
