Analysis of Conscience
Conscience is speaking in a still small voice.
Conscience is tweaking
behaviors of choice.
Conscience is chiding in constructive ways.
Conscience is guiding
footsteps through a maze.
Conscience is lurking in genetic codes.
Conscience is working
guilty mother lodes.
Conscience is etching in blueprints of love.
Conscience is fetching
heartbeats from above.
Conscience is knocking in thunderous claps.
Conscience is blocking
improbable gaps.
Conscience is teaching in manners humane.
Conscience is reaching
divinity's plain.
