Moral Conscious

Moral Consciousness deserts me When do I deem the necessity for action Or hold in what feels like the reluctant shadow of ignorance Fiend! that it may be. I cannot allow for non action to succeed For those that suffer without Will suffer so much more than me How much will my morality demand I give When I see so much of what I need To help here but not there To help now but never before What hesitation do I feel for being unable Sufferance of what has passed but not yet what is to come Ignorance may be bliss though it comes hand in hand with death Action I deem to take for my spirit aches I lie here in my bed afraid of what to give mistrust for those who take Sorrow for those who wait The crushing revelation that all is and may still be late Tragedy that has unfolded has kept me awake unable to shake what I feel must take but how easy the memory fades when I slip away with aid forget until my moral conscious awakes again and demands action today.
