Conviction

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Sep 08, 2026 

Conviction.
Strength of
conviction.
Seeing
past the
fog.
Lies.
Spin.
Whirlwind
of mind
warp.
Control.
Others
views,
Thoughts.
Opinions.
What
to believe?
Who to
trust?
Melting pot.
Blending
peace?
Waring camps?
Cleaving.
Easily
lead.
Influenced.
Brainwashed.
World view.
Which view?
Depends.
Molded
minds.
Genetically.
Generations
through.
Socially.
Geographically
hewn.
Layer
upon
layer
History
lay.
Original
thought.
Rarely
found.
