“Without free speech, there is no such thing as truth. The moment you silence opposing voices, you destroy the foundation of democracy.” – Charlie Kirk
While opposed to our Constitutional Republic being referred to as “democracy”, give a listen to the YouTube video explaining how free speech and thought is a necessity for our society to function properly.
Turning Points of Resolution
by Michael Doyle
Without having so much as a college degree,
Charlie offered the ideals of American philosophy.
Bringing truth to the street of clever error,
It's more than 7 years of bad luck from this broken mirror.
Touching hearts and guiding uninformed minds,
True justice demands more than no one left behind.
This mindless loss is one to the world's shame.
It demands examination, frame by frame.
There is no better place to truly start
Than to engage the young by mind and heart.
The fragility of life is vapidly on display,
Charlie Kirk's voice was stilled this day.
You can smell it in the putrid atmosphere
That has replaced reasoned debate with fear.
We can learn again to have civil, informed debate.
Or we can lose our faith and live in clouded hate.
A high-powered round took Charlie's life -
Fired by a violent thug who lives for strife.
There's a madman on the run again -
Whose malice violently took the nation's friend.
There is no better place to truly start
Than to engage the young by mind and heart.
The fragility of life is vapidly on display,
Charlie Kirk's voice was stilled this day.
Nothing can be sadder than the loss of a dad.
He influenced people through reason, not fad.
No matter how far we pursue the extent of the law,
If half the nation doesn't care or fails to recall
That our nation is based on the rule of law
The murder of free expression isn't all
That we lose as we kill the arbiter of debate.
For the love of God, we must put away our hate.
There is no better place to truly start
Than to engage the young by mind and heart.
The fragility of life is vapidly on display,
Charlie Kirk's voice was stilled this day.
Since when do we kill for limiting the government?
Aren't free markets seen as an improvement?
None of us wins by maintaining a failing status quo,
Not when fuller freedom and liberty are the goal.
It isn't a crime to debate with efficiency.
It isn't a shame to reach out efficiently.
It's not American to promote or use political violence
Words, not violence, are the path if we want benevolence.
There is no better place to truly start
Than to engage the young by mind and heart.
The fragility of life is vapidly on display,
Charlie Kirk's voice was stilled this day.

Oscar Night Without A Fright
by Michael Doyle
Hollywood tries to get one thing right,
How to survive the Oscar night without a fright.
Celebrities don't walk the red carpet zone
Without Armani on a tightrope of their own.
Harnessing star power to openly conspire,
Giorgio demonstrated fashion's power to inspire.
For decades, Armani shaped high fashion's legacy
All his designs shared his open conspiracy.
His work has ended as an expression of his voice.
Death does that to people as a matter of choice.
Symbols of fashionable black empowered #MeToo
New ideas crossed the red carpet for me and you
Effortless eloquence draped in its own seduction,
From flowing dresses to a power suit reduction.
Armani struck out into the high fashion industry.
Chaos found order in the styles from House Armani.
Passing decades found praise for quiet luxury
When stealth wealth kicked into the incendiary
Patterns that became the stride of the unstructured suit
And all of Hollywood crumpled in its pursuit.
His work has ended as an expression of his voice.
Death does that to people as a matter of choice.
Symbols of fashionable black empowered #MeToo
New ideas crossed the red carpet for me and you

Fifty-Five Years Gone
by Michael Doyle
From crayons to my sister's perfume,
I was lost deep inside the White Room.
Things of death made me feel fear,
And I needed another atmosphere.
I lost myself on memory lane,
Half convinced that life slips down the drain.
Looking for my way out,
While others looked to twist their shout.
We only had to find it.
It didn't matter if it hit.
We held music to be somewhat reverent,
As long as it said something different.
AM radio's wasteland left me unimpressed,
While FM was my soul fully expressed.
I wasn't interested in the 45s DJ way,
At least not compared to stereo long play.
Everything was down to experiment,
Players derived kicks from their musical variant.
As if the fortune had been read,
There was something new to be said.
We only had to find it.
It didn't matter if it hit.
We held music to be somewhat reverent,
As long as it said something different.
The Autumn leaves were already falling,
When a new opportunity came calling.
From the closing door came a new beginning.
The adventure of music is never-ending.
New ways of feeling sound came from deep inside,
Like the cry of a wild animal or maybe wounded pride.
Shamen and madmen sometimes feel the call,
As across the spotlighted stage they'd crawl.
We only had to find it.
It didn't matter if it hit.
We held music to be somewhat reverent,
As long as it said something different.

After 25 minutes of searching through Biden quotes, this was the best I could find that everyone should find agreeable as a first principle. I even looked through the speeches his teleprompter drafted…..
