Poem Artwork

The drops on my forehead

Are neither the beads of sweat

In the summertime heat nor

A cursive signature of toil

Under the care of my warder--

No such thing! They simply

Are tears of conscience which

Cries silently within my mind,

And which is a big trouble

Of all those who firstly hearken

To the cause of things and

Only then see all the effects,

And not the other way round.

 

All those who are at ease and

Have not had such experience,

Do not even think about a rate

Of crying inside their heads,
 
As they use to do it in broad

Daylight in front of all to see.

 

This is the principal difference

Between my conscience and me.

The conscience is such a delicate thing, the easiest thing to smother if we are not careful, I loved your sensitive poem this morning, thank you for sharing and have a great day Alexander x

That must be quite a struggle for your conscience to the crying like that.

An interesting thought, that the brow could (would) shed real tears that turn out to be tears of conscience. However, as you suggest toward the end of the poem, such tears are few and far between in this day and age. John
