Soprano In My Conscience Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

That voice of reason
I try to talk myself out of it
Even when my guts says am wrong
I dash against the counsel to do otherwise
That must make me really dumb or ignorant
The soprano in my head tunes my spirit to my conscience
Yet that won't hold me back from heeding the serpent's whisper sometimes

I fall short time and again
Pinch my ear for not listening to the sharp soprano in my conscience
Walking fast to do wrong and regret later
I could only learn to survive my bad decisions
Sometimes even with an option to walk back on my bad decisions
My foot wont troll back the voice urges me yet back to reason
The soprano in my head tunes my spirit to my conscience
Yet why do I do wrong or should I blame it on the unredeemed human nature
