There is a conflict in the West that draws down deeper than radical Islam versus West. It is Leftism versus Tradition. I think it’s pretty clear which side of this divide I am on.
Conflict Of Civilizations by Michael Romani Seems there's a divide in our lives As how we see what causes us to thrive Some say sex, some say money I think both of these are a bit funny Funny as in peculiar and not quite right I think it's meaning that brings the light Life often shows you can be chaste and poor And still be happy without wanting more But, a life without meaning is cold and empty Wealth and a rich sex life do not make you happy The Bible gives meaning for Judaism and Christianity It seems to me that without this is futility The meaning found there without any hesitation Offers up the truest answers to life's questions In these a good God created and rules the universe Death is not permanent and life is not perverse To be a light unto the nations is our divine mission And one that God has granted in His holy permission Now, in the modern age, the world has turned perverse The Bible is often seen as myth, malicious and worse There is a marked preference to believe this is all And that we, as mankind, did not from Eden fall With this loss, there is decline in love and marriage And with it children without this Godly carriage In its place has risen the unholy rise of secularism Manifesting firstly as Fascism and also as Communism New and progressive were the sirens of deadly ideology That has struggled to do away with traditional theology Replacing it instead with mass enslavement and murder As though these somehow carry the human race further To almost all who endured it, communism was the god that failed Yet, against this truth, many blind intellectuals railed Dogmatically insisting that socialistic environmentalism Was along with Marxism and feminism anything but rabid extremism These antitheses of the West's guiding principles rested As arguments to surge and attempt to overwhelm traditions tested Left wing advocates find everything about America contemptible While insisting that utopia on Earth is quite attemptable And imaginary world is held out as one that is the ideal They have forged into alternatives that can never be made real While the rest of us hold to the Bible for guidance to live Knowing that heart and feelings while important will never give Those things that will lead to lives that are best had Most often leading to decisions that leave us all sad It's best that we live lives based on Holy instruction Instead of the ways of man that most often lead to destruction This then is the largest clash within Western civilization And one that must be faced in full and true realization (c) September 1, 2018 Michael Romani All Rights Reserved
