First Principles: The Government of the Absolute Majority Instead of the Government of the People Is But the Government of the Strongest Interests
“The Government of the absolute majority instead of the Government of the people is but the Government of the strongest interests; and when not efficiently checked, it is the most tyrannical and oppressive that can be devised.” – John C. Calhoun
God Breaking Through
God Breaking Through
by Michael Doyle
In God, I find all that's worthy.
Through life's storms, I find His glory.
He leads me through all of my days,
Even when words fail in His praise.
I lift my voice to the skies up high,
Embracing the truth of God's reply.
His goodness will always prove,
The hallelujah of my every move.
My soul roars like a lion heard,
And my faith calls as I'm stirred.
My feelings of faith shine aloud
With more confidence than I'm allowed.
Looking back on my life's ministry,
At times, it has been quite a history.
Dedicated in all moments to the Trinity,
The faith of our fathers is no mystery.
Layer after layer, God is always there.
We walk in courage, not in fear.
My life and your life are lived in ebb and flow.
The power of God is all that I need to know.
My soul roars like a lion heard,
And my faith calls as I'm stirred.
My feelings of faith shine aloud
With more confidence than I'm allowed.

Never Look Back
Never Look Back
by Michael Doyle
A soldier's life is to take life,
Be it by bullet or by knife.
The alleged purpose is to preserve life,
In the middle of all of war's strife.
There are the quiet moments of observation,
Of looking out into the depths of God's creation.
Wasn't God, who dwells somewhere above,
Supposed to be about nobler things like love?
Stretched out by the fire under darkened skies,
The soldier takes it in with his own eyes.
Everything, it seems, is a wonderment
To be caught up in the respite of puzzlement.
Why and how did he taste victory today
When so many lives were simply cast away?
Is there a god or isn't there?
This is not something to be decided in moments of fear.
It's an inanity that some divide others by skin,
Speculating about the gates of Heaven and who gets in.
Maybe there's no worse hate than racial animosity.
But to hear some folks talk, such talk is pomposity.
In a soldier's experience, it's a man's character and soul.
Merit, skills, and loyalty are the counted coup that console.
It's the steady gaze that tells of a companion's loyalty.
The things that matter most are those of integrity.
A soldier longs for homecoming and love's embrace.
It gives him comfort to feel sweet moments of love's trace.
Promises are made about killing no more -
And wanting no association with this thing called war.
Strikes of luck, like games of cards, must be well played,
And taken only when the winning hand is displayed.
It's a huge discomfort suffered at the hands of the creator,
Too late, only because the other man is a born cheater.
Freedom is freedom, even won in the black of night.
Sometimes, it must be won in ways less than right,
And then the soldier finds himself on the run,
Full of harsh regret over what he has done.
Once sweet freedom has somehow been won,
The soldier's life surely must begin as it's begun.
A simple life tastes as sweet as freedom.
It's worth a life's wages in this soldier's kingdom.

Facing Down Hell
Facing Down Hell
by Michael Doyle
Facing down the gates of Hell,
I found a better place to dwell.
My shame was provided healing,
And now I'm blessed with a new feeling.
My heritage from God is in my veins
As I praise His, the holiest of names.
I've finally done one thing clever,
As I kneel before the cross, now and forever.
His is the kingdom in this eternal hour.
I am blessed t know His holy power.
Jesus, our savior, causes Satan to cower.
I am blessed by His eternal power.
Forever, I take part in His story,
Amazed by all that is His glory.
I've put on a blessed attitude,
As I witness this with obedient gratitude.
Rolling thunder displays His universe,
As I lay my pen to humble verse.
My soul sings in my humbled tone,
The Lamb gave all, and I'm no longer alone.
It is finished as He said.
My burdens are lifted, and I have a clear head.
My savior has healed my broken soul,
With His love, He did console.
State clearly within this proclamation,
I offer up the best of my humble adoration.
His is the love, the light, and the truth,
I wish I had known from my youth.
He has risen on that Resurrection Day.
I am blessed to have found His way.
And so with eyes of blessed love,
I share God in all He's given from above.
