The Voice In Your Head
By larry r linville

They say we have a voice in our head
to tell us what’s right and wrong.
I’m not sure there’s only one voice
and I think several sing their song.

There’s a voice that sings, “Me, me me..”
and that voice can cause much pain
but it can be balanced with “others…”
and it brings to us all much gain.

A voice sings “nobody will know..”
but somebody always will
and that voice brings many poor actions
which serves up a bitter pill.

It’s not enough to just hear a voice
but we have to cultivate
the voice that comes from our deepest prayer
and gives reason to celebrate.

Scripture study sorts out the voices
until we hear the right one
and when we have accomplished this
our main task has been done.
