Your Conscience

I am the one who guides you Or tell you not to punch your boss The one that tells you not to indulge in road rage And keep your cool with unknown callers Or not to flip off the rude man at the store I help you decipher right from wrong Or hold it together And stay sane by not flying off the handle I'm at the heartbeat of the essence of you Your constant I'm there when no one else is I'm your moral compass The glue that holds you together Your voice of reason And your common sense Please don't act like you don't know who I am I'm your conscience Yes, that’s me in the flesh And don't you ever forget it 05/29/2021

So true, we should be guided by common sense, which in effect is not so common after all.
