Need - For - Awareness Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

As well as having
an active conscience
we also need
consciousness.

We need to be
aware and able
to perceive that
what we do and
say may not have
an impact on others,

that we are kind
and gentle with
all those we meet
on our journey
through life.

Yes, we need to
speak our truth
and acknowledge
that 'the truth' is
different for everybody.

(Written from the comments
of the great poetess of Listowel, Marie Shine.)
