Concerns For Perennial Truths
by Michael Doyle

Admittedly, I grew up differently,
Believing in my nation and God reverently.
Strength of character and in spirit,
Where the battle was righteous, I would bear it.

I have watched as our ideals were beaten down,
And somehow Marxism claimed society's crown.
But now I stand a little prouder and see the possibility
Of rising above the din and its mass anxiety.

I see a nation on the brink of its discovery
That it can stand for righteousness in its recovery.
It's a return to the permanent things that bring prosperity,
And it begins by understanding our nation's sovereignty.

Moral order, self-government, and having a national purpose 
Are the fundamentals by which we understand our service.
There will be no clinging to the burning embers of technocracy.
The people will remember our truths and return to dignity.

For most of my life, I have seen our self-confidence decline,
Wondering to myself whatever happened to this republic of mine.
Self-expression was freedom, not self-control and responsibility.
Self-governance was no longer believed within our capability.

The market didn't raise the children; neither did the latchkey.
The economy hollowed out as we rediscovered the need for family.
Yet, the elites tell us knowing biology is hardened bigotry.
We will not sacrifice on the altar of convenience and identity.

Our republic requires the People's moral formation.
Fundamental truths are not a matter of anyone's imagination.
We refuse conformance to any taxing demands of globalism
On the conviction that meaning is what brings optimism.

An old adage states that it is always darkest before the dawn,
But it's by the dawn's early light that we now make our move on
Ridding ourselves of the decrepit ways of foul-minded liberalism
The bureaucracy will be replaced by our renewed conservatism. 

We are rebuilding the American Republic for every Main Street
While putting aside any feigned alliance with any Wall Street
That fails to understand the necessity of our own sovereignty.
It is the only means to dream and restore our nation's dignity.
 
There is no need or purpose in apologizing for civilization.
Instead, we must live ours for the greatness of this nation.
The economy and our global friendships exist for our family
Not the other way around as we begin to restore our dignity.
