Conscience Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I am the inner voice you hear,
when quietly you meditate,
Inaudible to any ear
but yours.

All I can offer is advice,
which you can follow or discard
You have free will which should suffice.
Of course

sometimes you find it hard to choose.
between the options offered you.
What to accept and what refuse.
No force

on earth can make you listen to
advice you do not want to hear.
It is your choice it’s up to you.
But pause

consider well which path to take,
before you make you finally decide.
The burden of any mistake
is yours.

Do as you will but lose or win.
There has to be a settling day
a price you will have to pay: In
due course.
