Conscience

Conscience 

We are not born with original sin 
Nor are we born as a saint 
Meanwhile we develop conscience  
By which we go only either to Paradise or Hell 

No one is responsible for your actions 
Neither is anyone for your conscience 
Meanwhile you die either as a sinner or saint 
Upon your sole deeds you go to either Paradise or Hell 

No one will come to you to rescue 
Nor will anyone to deny your virtues 
Meanwhile you reap your fruits from 
Upon the soil of conscience you plant the trees.
