CONVICTION


                 Armed guards of deception 
                 Keep fear's prison secure.
                 Truth is denied access.

                 Sentencing is indeterminate.  
                 Release dates are obscure.
                 Inmates retrogress.

                 Crimes include analysis 
                 Of motives not one's own.
                 Convicts acquiesce.

                 Confessions are obtained 
                 Where seeds of guilt were sewn
                 Through self-imposed duress.

                 Escape is only optional 
                 For those who search within
                 For signs of holiness.

                 Crumbling walls of pride 
                 Reveal the ego's spin
                 On falsehood powerless.

                 When truth is granted access, 
                 Deception's guards will fall.
                 The victory – effortless.

                 Prisoners awakened 
                 By freedom's trumpet call
                 Rejoice in Christliness.
