Conscience

When shall you learn?
Oh master?
Why make me burn?
After every socio-political disaster.

I’ve yet come clear and clean
In all your thoughts and actions
Lest you forget, I’m but a glean
Of YOUR deeds, not reactions

Selfless help is referenced in mythology
But that’s rare in today’s human psychology
Each individual fights his own battle
Only when it’s personal, do their bones rattle

Stop playing the game of expectations
Of social justice and collective strength
They look good on prose and citations
Best kept at arm’s length

I’m YOUR conscience
As a team, let's stay clean
Don’t opine on every nonsense
And take away my sheen
