Convictions And Contradiction

In the beginning there came light from the darkness

Then came the first day and a world had begun

Without form and shape from the shadows deep

Turning the wheels from the tide it had spun

A world where survival hoped for in being

Is not as prevalent as the means to exist

Where practice and theory don't go together

Under the rule of an iron fist

With favor those who hold the conviction

Produced by believing in things not seen

Setting the pace for skepticism

Doubt in all that is and has been

Natural creation and divine revelation

Two methods for proving a false pretension

Looking for evidence of proven infliction

Waiting for someone to intervene
