Mind Blogs: "The conscious ones"

The conscious ones.
not subconscious ones.
not unconscious ones.
The conscious ones.
the ones that stare you right in the face.
mistake,
after mistake,
after mistake
The conscious ones
you learned what not to do
but now trained in the school
of hard knocks
consciously doing
consciously pursuing
thou shalt not
play with fire
igniting the lighter
mentally conspiring
repentance
premeditating conversation
forgive me Father
for I know
what I’m about to pursue
I ought not do
Those conscious ones He sees
Those conscious ones He pleas
“Stop taking advantage of Me!”
