It Becomes You

Surely there can be little doubt that though 
it is formally cast as a noble reminder 
nudging the holder to commit to its standards
a conscience can seem extremely annoying 
for those who view it as totally expendable. 
On the other hand, in close communion with 
one's subconscious, the two work in tandem
requiring little introspection resulting in 
reaction and action and in this manner
expresses the deepest core values that a
human being can attain to. Think of it:
conscience challenges us to think of the 
welfare of others. That constant in our lives 
steers us unerringly toward behaviour we 
have no reason to feel derelict in. No reason 
to feel much of anything in fact since 
however we are guided by that prod 
thought is redundant in favour of simply 
responding as we know we should and 
will and get on with our lives. The conscience 
asserts its presence as a reminder to our alert
consciousness when we become aware
of events, agencies and personalities
absent conscience leaving in their wake
a moral wasteland and we are reminded
time and again of the vicissitudes of
human nature and the boundless exchanges
that identify us as immune to the stirrings
of a latent conscience finding favour in the 
more pedestrian exercise of its guidance.
