The Voices Within Us

I heard some times back

That all good things come in threes

And so are bad things;

Amidst conflicting priorities in life

You could be tossed hither and thither

Doubts will arise, selfishness will creep in

Hitherto good intentions will be marred

Bad will transcend to the worse

Standards will dwindle, finances will be low

It would be easy to rebel against society

A misplaced anger upon the people who made you

Trapped in whimsical wants

But the melody of our hearts,

The siren in our conscience

Will SCREAM

Nine times out of ten

Those who are in line with society are right

I read that from a letter of an old lawyer to son

Find that voice, Pilgrim,

That will speak for society

Not against them

Say YES to that voice

And you will never be wrong.
