Worth the Turning of Attention
by Michael Doyle

The time has come and the time is now
To remember the nation's virtues somehow
Because when the Left has gotten out of control
There is virtually nothing to ever console

The loss of some fundamental beliefs
That without which we are stuck in grief
As our bleeding hearts become tyrannical
The path they weave becomes quite maniacal 

There is no good in the dumbing down of society 
To make someone lesser ease their social anxiety
In no way makes our world any more equitable
We should lend ourselves to rewarding the capable

How is it that we have been argued into duplicity?
Has the Left truly forgotten that to protect liberty
We must always protect the others' freedoms 
Instead of turning the nation into a fiefdom

Where instead of seeking the leadership of the meritorious
We stumble as we crumble into skin tone being victorious
And what good is there in punishing all dishonesty?
When doing so interferes with the business of society

Handing our best chances over to illegal residents
Like anyone in this land could be made our president
Is something that our parents could not have conceived it
Someone pulled the puppet's strings and then believed it

As something desirable, and though life in its levity
Deserves moments that recognize its certain brevity
We should not desert what were the principles of this land
To be led by the post-Marxism of Frankfurt's command

Nothing is as loved by tyrants as blind obedience
But that doesn't make our nation become resplendent
We have become believers in outrageous blasphemy
And in doing this, we are trading in decent authority

Giving away consent of the governed for rule by agency
In a manner that is Marxian in its spoiled precedency 
If we keep this path of the despised and the damned
In the end, we are to blame for allowing to be rammed

From our pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness
To the theft of all private property to chase bliss
That cannot be found by being duped in our naivety
Into trading our natural liberty for allegiance to authority
