Holding Onto the Truth
by Michael Doyle

Too much has been made of modern complexity,
While forgetting that truth rests on simplicity.
In this modern age, we circle the drain
As we swear, the easiest answers are in vain.

Truth tellers don't need to hide from society.
The truth doesn't depend on secularist popularity.
It depends on finding the answers that work well,
Even where we don't know every single detail.

There's a doomsday in the progressive orthodoxy.
It's the simple truth spoken without controversy.
The illiberal path is always covered in gloom.
There's a better path that doesn't lead to doom.

We must raise our children to believe the beautiful,
That life can be lived for the good and wonderful.
Though popular culture might think it's far too late,
Great things come to those who have chosen to wait.

Shrill ideology is a half-truth hidden in a masquerade,
When the full truth is often there waiting in the shade.
We wonder why the full picture is hardly seen,
But comes down to the willfulness of being human beings.

We don't need the cultural despair of a coming tyranny.
What we need is the love of freedom and hopeful liberty.
There are only so many answers in scientific materialism.
It is as much a spiritual world meant to embrace optimism.

There's a doomsday in the progressive orthodoxy.
It's the simple truth spoken without controversy.
The illiberal path is always covered in gloom.
There's a better path that doesn't lead to doom.

We must raise our children to believe the beautiful,
That life can be lived for the good and wonderful.
Though popular culture might think it's far too late,
Great things come to those who have chosen to wait.

The progressives naysay the demonic shreds of reality,
While speaking of artificial constructs of surreality.
They stand in the denial that mankind has a choice,
And instead believe that only the 'self' has a voice.

Be it transgenderism or other stabs at man's frailty,
We live in an age of the graceless state of humanity.
Whatever is accepted becomes the truth of which we're able
To shape and mold into  the perversely acceptable. 

There's a doomsday in the progressive orthodoxy.
It's the simple truth spoken without controversy.
The illiberal path is always covered in gloom.
There's a better path that doesn't lead to doom.

We must raise our children to believe the beautiful,
That life can be lived for the good and wonderful.
Though popular culture might think it's far too late,
Great things come to those who have chosen to wait.

But there are those of us who stand by God's word.
We are the believers in the truth as it has occurred.
We will not relinquish  the keys to our Father's kingdom,
For we have seen and known it for its power and wisdom.

False gods of the internet cannot destroy the inspiration,
That holds the power behind the founding of our nation.
A thousand sparks of meaningful light guide along the way
While rejuvenated in joyful waiting for the coming days.

We must raise our children to believe the beautiful,
That life can be lived for the good and wonderful.
Though popular culture might think it's far too late,
Great things come to those who have chosen to wait.

But there are those of us who stand by God's word.
We are the believers in the truth as it has occurred.
We will not relinquish the keys to our Father's kingdom,
For we have seen and known it for its power and wisdom.
