At the end of the day, when it boils down to it, there is just two of us, Me and Conviction! None other is invited, none other is required , none can understand, none can fight it, none can defend it, none can present or explain it, none can relate to it, none can identify with it. It is just Me and Conviction, the 2 man squad, called and chosen to fight the battle, to defend the cause. It is not for the masses, the crowd, the group, the family, the network, the support group, the herd, the association, the friends, it is just Me and Conviction.
Throw me in the fire, let me burn a million times, with convictions I stand in the flame. Put me in the firing line, at the forefront of the battlefield, I stand with no human protection, no shield, no bulletproof vest, with my chest bare, I stand with Conviction. Get the sharpest knives and slash me into tiny pieces, let me bleed from top to bottom, with Conviction I lie still for when I die I shall be resurrected, with Conviction I accept the death that must come to man. Like David I stand before Goliath, straight, strong and erect I stand with no helmet, coat of armour or sword, haul as many stone as you wish at me, with Conviction I stand, for I come not to defeat the seen enemy but the unseen. I stand strong, I stand tall, I stand erect, foot firmly planted, just me and Conviction beside me and I wage the greatest battle of all, the battle against a man’s belief.
Who is the Judge? God is the judge. I sit in the court of man, to the dock I am led, I come without a barrister, a Mackenzie friend, any support, to be judged by men, my accusers have brought me to the law, lies and accusations abound, the case is mounted high against me, with Conviction I presented my case and rested, let justice be done, let the true judge judge, let the one that ruleth in the affairs of men give the rulings. To the stock, to incarceration, to loss or to freedom, I accept my fate for alone I will never be, Conviction I will never let out of my sight. There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Hand in hand, I hop with my friend into my destiny, Conviction is my friend!
