Conviction...

What good is all of this knowledge,
if it never sinks to your heart?
What good is a change of heart,
if you can't make your mind agree?

We powder and puff ourselves up
with knowledge, learning and wisdom.
We make up a mask of courage
of love, understanding, and peace.

But we miss the dire connection
that the mind and heart should contain.
When will we get the whole picture?
Will it cost us our lives to see?

This walk is about more than love...
It's where love and conviction meet.
