Conscience's functions

The nose smells when the odour changes.
The conscience pricks when the wrong enters.
The nose goes silent after the change stays.
The conscience goes dumb after the wrong stays.

Entering the fish market,
You will smell the fish.
Staying in the fish market,
You will no longer feel it.
