On Conscience

by Thomas Heng

The voice of conscience
Eludes the wisest of sages;
Its nature often cloaked
In the unlikeliest of guises

Desire shouts it down
Fear drowns it out;
Two emotions both alike
Yet neither are true to Self

Still the soul, quieten the spirit
Notice while looking within;
Let Wisdom lead one to the
Essence of one's Being
