Conscience of Society

Our society can’t spare us

We can’t spare our society

Mutually giving and taking

Both depend on each other

Our society is all-inclusive

The leader and the follower

The challenger the peacemaker

The blessed the doomed

The winner the loser

And those in between

Like everyone needs a heart

To stay alive and well

Our society needs a conscience

Pieced together by us

Its health leans on our good sense

Its morale relies on us to boost

Its growth hinged on our input

We resort to social consensus

To secure our wellbeing

To battle injustice

To heal wounds

A society without conscience is

Like a cold-hearted monster

Its cruelty is a multitude of all members’

Its coldness is disguised

In the neutrality of silent majority

A strong voice from us is needed

To make the conscience of our society

A powerful weapon

To fight against injustice

To safeguard its wholesome growth
