Best Convictions Poems

Without convictions, a man resembles

an aimlessly sailing boat, in which both the rudder

and

the anchor is missing!

I accept Death's finality,
it's been a while since I believed.
I've lost my convictions of youth,
viewing Faith through cynical eyes.

It's been a while since I believed;
my prayers dwindled to a few.
Viewing Faith through cynical eyes;
I foresee what the future holds.

My prayers dwindled to a few;
it's hard...

The difference between
the carnal and the spiritual,
has as much to do with
convictions as does visuals.

The Carnal's favorite epithet:
I will believe in it when I see it.
Living as a mere fleck in the universe
his chances of vision grow steadily worse.

While Spiritual cling to holy writ:
I will...

Does it seem strange?
Men will sell their souls,
for votes.
Twisting their beliefs
into a rumpled heap.
Lubricated lies,
when they are greased,
slither and slide,
like a snake....

Stick to your convictions
Don’t ever back away
Tell it like it is
Say all you have to say.

When you have a chance to meet success
Stick to your convictions
And surely if you do what’s right
You’ll have very few restrictions.

So knuckle down , apply yourself
Be the best that you...

From ISIS to J HORE totally 
unafraid of the JIHAD domestic 
threat arriving to end my 
life over my American poetry 
accompanying Rasta yago 
waving a 9MM driving a 
Tahoe parked next to her 
dark blue Hyundai seated 
with an arson murderer 
of 9 elders...

My young daughter 
Can take care
Of herself
But she does not 
Whereas my 
Old age mother
Can’t take care 
Of herself
But still she does
Why so
because of wrong convictions
towards life
that are taught to us

Today I’m grateful for those who possess the courage of their convictions
whose courage is their cornerstone….
who are not afraid to stand up for what is right…
even if they have to stand alone.

Song Lyrics

Maybe our convictions are convictions after all,
They lock us in a prison in our minds. 
They keep us from living in this moment. 
We’re out of synchronicity---out of present time.

Convicted by convictions, we are prisoners, prisoners. 
Living in the...

God upholds us while we live according to our biblical convictions  
Fighting for them against any vain humanistic perspective
Along allurements packed by lust and deceit’s intentions…
In following His instructions toward heavenly directive. 

God blesses our convictions while we lean unto His understanding
Vanquishing falsity along...

Do you hold your convictions well
And have to oblige for others to tell
Your favourite story for all to see
And want others to believe to be

But tolerance is the issue for all in the world
To not force your beliefs as they are held
I think this is...

Pathos is my validity; for I hear my guides
and I feel them. I follow them, they make up
my Weltanschauung.

Ethos has nothing to do with me; 
I have no interest in captivating or compelling
followers or admirers.

Eros was once my go-to place; I have outgrown
her bows and...

It seems to be so odd to me
The way we accept these casualties
They fall before our very eyes
And somehow we just walk on by
We avert our stares, we turn our heads
Oblivious that we stand on a ledge
Unaware of our own mortality 
Seeking to mesh with...

Who wants to hear my latest diatribe
of how the world could stand to be improved? 
Or quaff a pint, and hear as we imbibe,
of politics of which I’ve not approved?
Perhaps a glass of vintage Cabernet
would help one hear the stories of my life.
My search for...
