" REMEMBERING " MY PHOTO, ©

Consciousness' Choice

Oh, my unforgiving consciousness,

Stop torturing me with guilt for each of my past crimes,

Why don't you remember, for once,

The pious deeds I have performed, in the old good times?*

This message resonates with everyone that is honest with oneself Demetrios. We are all sinners in the eyes of God. Remind your conscience that you are forgiven by our Lords blood and you are a new man, and are transformed into trying to not repeat those painful acts. Blessings my friend.

Wonderful rhyming verse and thought provoking, we have to assess ourselves regularly, and our consciousness is like our shadow, if follows us everywhere. Like this verse a great deal. well penned Demetrios Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

For checks and balances otherwise, consciousness is bias...Good one Demetrios.

Funny how that happens Demetrios, is it guilt that makes us do it. We're often our own worst enemy. Have a great week. Tom

So true my friend, Tom! It seems that God within us wants to constantly remind us of our crimes so as not to repeat them in the future. Hope we learn! Thank you and blessings my friend. Take care!
