War: the heart, the mind, the conscience

by theunfeelinghuman

What do you do When your heart yearns for one thing And your brain wants another? You listen a little bit to both. But what do you do When it is your heart that is in dispute A half wants one thing And the other wants another Is it better to do then neither Or is it better to mute them both And listen to the conscience? What do you do When your conscience goes to war With your heart and your mind? You listen to the majority. But what do you do When you know the minority to be true Because in fact, the heart is forever In love with the conscience. It is the mind, the mind it is That tricks the heart Into believing that It is in quarrel with the conscience. So what do you do, really? You be a good human And listen to the conscience. ~Moniba.
