Conscience

Ashamed, the conscience is shy in a heart, a summer sky, echo from a soul in pain when an act, a sudden stain. The face, a sullen look wears, eyes battling creeping tears; round balls drop and wet the dress, stir the soul to clean the mess. Seared's a conscience without shame, bullying the way to fame. © 2014

When the concience ceases to be pricked by shame man has surrendered to his lowest character.

Thanks, Richard. Unfortunately, the world seems to be heading in the direction of self-destruction as the value of our humanness drops by the day.
