Steering
Ever wondered
What steers us through
This enormous journey
Guides us & directs us
Its the amalgamation
Of number of things
Experiences of people
Guidance of parents and teachers
Also most importantly
By the conscience
The moment an act is to be performed
There it comes telling us
The right from wrong
Dissuading us disdaining us
If we stoop to do wrong
Reminding us of hell
When something good
Is undertaken
It silently pats us
The guidance of parents
Is a major factor
In keeping us on track
We may retort saying don't lecture us
"Don't tell me what to do"
But somewhere in our heart
we store their advise
Slowly these advises
Make our conscience
Conscience is not superfluous
Its the wisdom passed on
For ages from generation to generation
Thus our guides steer us through life
Saving it from becoming barbaric & savage.
