The diverse assortment of enrapturing conviction Is but cacophony to most other than me, Discord to the passionate, Defending concepts they find true Clamor to the indifferent, Those value peace and human happiness Above factual correctness For years they’ve all, with incessant attempts Given their utmost to indoctrinate me, The most easily swayed of all— But I’ve found in the rupturing of the fervent, All ideology, ethic, doctrine, And in the serenity of the agreeably pacific I’ve found faith, hope—I’m sure that’s my own, Art is by no means meaningless, I find, Especially so when inherent by human ability And ascribed to this lyrical poem I’ve crafted Consisting of what I, by my means, find true Diverse conviction is beautiful.
