Mandami I:
Mandami I:
by Michael Doyle
America has become a victim in danger
Stabbed by the seditious enemy within.
Our predicament could not be any stranger
Than to see the blue city endorse communist sin.
Sanders wants this throughout our country,
But it will only drive us into poverty.
As the man said, "(T)his isn't Cuba, you fools!",
America's traditions don't include being made tools.
Like roaches in the dark, the Socialists emerge.
Without enough fight back, the Socialists surge.
We must speak up and counter the enemies we know,
Or we will find our country taken from within the shadows.
The Democrats are putting on a red face.
They have bought into lies for their base.
Mandami says it brings dignity,
But all that 've seen is a whole lot of impropriety.
Nepotism, ego, and hard work
Have all back the plays of this socialist quirk.
Democratic Socialists are okay with corruption and killing,
Especially, if it leads to Israel's death, Allah be willing.
Like roaches in the dark, the Socialists emerge.
Without enough fight back, the Socialists surge.
We must speak up and counter the enemies we know,
Or we will find our country taken from within the shadows.
With a father who cannot tell violence from nonviolence,
This country has never needed greater vigilance.
Governance by a plethora of deceitful soundbites
May poll as popular, but it isn't ever right.
Echoes of a violent past are heard today
As "Ever on to victory" becomes the prevailing way.
They don't care about the American Constitution.
Instead, they're fighting the internationale's revolution.
Like roaches in the dark, the Socialists emerge.
Without enough fight back, the Socialists surge.
We must speak up and counter the enemies we know,
Or we will find our country taken from within the shadows.
Is this the future that we want to believe in?
Didn't The Who say we won't be fooled again?
I join my voice against this vapid communism.
The pipe dreams offered are only opportunism.
The campaign won was silently based on affordability.
This is null and void when reality shows nothing is for free.
The paint points mentioned are indeed very real,
But these aren't resolved by some new illusory fair deal.
Like roaches in the dark, the Socialists emerge.
Without enough fight back, the Socialists surge.
We must speak up and counter the enemies we know,
Or we will find our country taken from within the shadows.
Taxing the rich until there are rich no more
Has historically proven to end by making all poor.
This is a matter of record that we cannot ignore.
This isn't opportunity knocking, it's the closing of doors.
As these policies reach City Hall, it will cause plight.
Corporations and citizens will have no choice but to take flight.
We have seen this played out multiple times and know the score.
New York City will bleed out until its greatness is no more.
Like roaches in the dark, the Socialists emerge.
Without enough fight back, the Socialists surge.
We must speak up and counter the enemies we know,
Or we will find our country taken from within the shadows.

Thought For the Day: The Most Tyrannical of Governments Are Those Which Make Crimes of Opinions, For Everyone Has An Inalienable Right To His Thoughts
“The most tyrannical of governments are those which make crimes of opinions, for everyone has an inalienable right to his thoughts.” – Baruch Spinoza
The Blessings We’ve Received
The Blessings We've Received
by Michael Doyle
Positioned by love for significance,
Christianity walks with magnificence.
We do the hard things in hard places.
In all of this, our Lord lovingly embraces.
In praise of a path that readily knows,
Our faith has daily come to succeed and grow.
Walking in this Lord's grace,
Our love of God is one we faithfully embrace.
The mysteries of God are revealed at last.
The wisdom of His ways is held fast.
In a matter of life's tests, we must hold on tight.
The words are measured, making the message right.
All the words in the world add up to praise
For what God has done throughout our days.
Moments of worship serve as our foundation.
It is sufficient in our explanation.
Across the world, and across multiple pews,
We are informed and conformed by the Good News.
The one true God demands our centrality.
There is no room in God's kingdom for our neutrality.
We are no longer under sin and death.
I'll sing these praises to my last breath.
On the road to Damascus, Paul received
The glory of God's truth was to spread as he believed.
Our decisions create our chosen direction.
God only provides His gentle correction.
Our needed savior gifts us with faith and love
So that we might live below as taught from above.
In studying the Trinity, we see orchestrated history.
Only God's great love for humanity holds any real mystery.
This is nothing we have earned, but we have been given.
Through faith in the blood of Christ, we are forgiven.
Abraham was granted righteousness immediately,
Our acceptance of our salvation serves sufficiently
To provide us a path to serve in our rightful place
And these promises are delivered to us by His grace.
Submitting our lives as we gain spiritual maturity,
We walk our way together conforming into unity.
God does amazing things through His miracles and our service.
Each member of the family lives out God's greater purpose.

Words Well Spent
Words Well-Spent
by Michael Doyle
Don't wait until the end
To learn to live as a father and a friend.
Now and then are the moments to seize.
This lesson doesn't come with fancy degrees.
It begins and ends by saying I love you,
And living each moment between like you do.
There's no guarantee that will lessen the tears,
But it will create a bond of joy for your years.
Three words that, when well-spent,
Will add zest to the time lent.
Said in a whisper or happy shout.
This is what a well-intended life is all about.
Every loving hello births its own echo.
Love is love like a dream of shadows.
A writer is best when speaking from the soul.
It's the etiquette of writing what you know.
It's peaceful, and yet very direct,
Even if there's an error, it couldn't be more correct.
Whether it's sheer joy or utter catastrophe,
Love spoken truthfully is just as it needs to be.
Three words that, when well-spent,
Will add zest to the time lent.
Said in a whisper or happy shout.
This is what a well-intended life is all about.
Fair words exchanged are from love, not labor.
Maybe that's the secret of being a good neighbor.
Tipping toes in the best part of life's ocean,
It would be the simple truth of shared devotion.
We live our lives as best as we are capable,
Knowing anything mentionable is manageable.
Life and death, they both deeply depend,
Tightly and rightly on whom we call our friend.
Three words that, when well-spent,
Will add zest to the time lent.
Said in a whisper or happy shout.
This is what a well-intended life is all about.

Thought For the Day: People Will Come To Love Their Oppression, To Adore the Technologies That Undo Their Capacities To Think
“People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think.” – Aldous Huxley
(Take care when it comes to AI and even programs like Grammarly. As people, we have a duty to think and be ourselves, not someone else’s idea of perfection. True beauty of form and person is found in our imperfections as much as our ideal forms. The brave new world once ‘nightmared’ about is in its formative stages.)
