The Reason I Behave
Voice of conscience here you are again
niggling at my soul like one last Amen
Breathe me in, but do not rob me of my choice
you know its nice when I can use my other voice
Take me to your right but don't neglect my left
you conscience, are my wholesome gift
Whisper to me softly truths I do not dare
for when my slate is clean I feel light as air
You conscience, are the reason I behave
the purpose I hold straight my stave
Drink me in and water my reason
be at my side, for every season.
