James 4:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)

5 Or do you think the scripture means nothing when it says, “The spirit that God caused to live within us has an envious yearning”?

A thought to materialize … a soft shove from within

A push towards what’s right … as a voice softly whispers

An opportunity to do well … and just to do what’s right?

Move on with daily chores … and responsive to existence

In knowing wrong from right? What is the so-called conscience?

Who empowers simple truth that should not be ignored?

I cannot be moved out of sight … for everyone has a chance

Until in me or you … it gets treated like an irritating sore

If it dies in an instant … can it be resurrected?

If it turns into stone … can it still produce feelings?

Does it live just a moment … can it live without reflective?

Does it go to core and bone … in its dying wheeling-dealing?
