Consciousness

Conscientious with some kind of apparatus,

I am not counting on a thing called an abacus;

I can't know these two things with consciousness,

They're used at different times with concentration.

.

Consciousness is awareness of the reality going on,

And not being aware that in the night the sun shone;

In the day we have light to see what we need to do,

When you read this the black and white will be true.

.

I can't understand everything outside of my world,

I'm not conscious of things on earth with each word;

But my heart wants to know what is going on around,

As long as my head can stay on up above the ground.

.

Consciousness means alertness to what will happen,

What you need to know and whether you are happy;

You can't have everything that money can buy,

There has to be enough for others left when you die.

.

If I consciously care about others and not all myself,

I am not consciously caring about books on the shelf;

It's consciousness to decide whether its life or death,

But I am not conscious of taking every single breath.

.

One thing you can be sure about is that it all will turn,

No matter how much is done or how much you earn;

You can be conscious of this and conscious of that,

I might not be conscious if someone is wearing a hat.
