Conviction

Conviction, where have you gone?
It seems these days you are nowhere to be found.
As the wind blows, so too decision making goes,
Are you afraid of making waves that may swallow you up?
Have you become just a figure and speaker of words?
Conviction where have you gone?
Has meaning and purpose disappeared from your view?
Maybe, power and lust has become your thrust.
Have you lost your spine in the name of correctness?
Or become lukewarm in the heat of battle.
Conviction, where have you gone?
It seems these days you are nowhere to be found.
You’re just a puppet on a string with no control over anything.
You’ve become a lonesome voice spewing meaningless words.
They have no righteousness, no heart, and no soul.
Conviction, where have you gone?
It seems you have all but past away.
You are a fading memory of a better day that has now past.
Your steadfast faith, unshaken confidence, and deep rooted belief;
Has all been stolen away by a sinister worldly thief.
Conviction going, conviction going, conviction has gone.
