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.
