Thought For the Day: I Will Not Allow My Life’s Light To Be Determined By the Darkness Around Me

“Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me.” – Sojourner Truth

Madami II

Madami II
by Michael Doyle

There is a creeping conspiracy of making up lies
To make society's driving forces into bad guys.
Most of the rich in America worked to get there.
To believe otherwise is a sad game of stoking fear.

The Havana Model will sink the entrepreneurial class,
And make fools of workers who should have taken a pass.
False promises consolidate the niches of true power,
Reaming the middle class as red rage openly devours.

Like roaches from 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.

Ask Venezuela about government-owned groceries.
Any astute observer will find shelves full of empty.
Sex change operations and funding illegal immigration?
Tell me again how this is good for the nation.

Mandami and his cronies say sex work should be supported.
Any babies from this can simply be handily aborted.
Posturing like a chameleon doesn't make him less of a snake,
But it does confuse the people about what's at stake.

Like roaches from 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.

He's on record saying he reflects what people want to hear.
This high-gloss answer is exactly what the people should fear.
The cost of his tragic programs will empty police departments,
When the criminals come, who will arrive to save your apartments?

Social Services won't stop a madman with his gun.
Free condoms and terrible advice won't save anyone.
Defund and dismantle cannot be walked back -
But what will the people do when protection is what they lack?

Globalizing the Intifada is no way to run a city.
That Madami doesn't know this is more than just a pity.
Arrogance leading the charge of sheer ignorance
Is not a path toward any form of wise governance.

First Principles: The Constitution Enjoins An Oath Upon All the Officers of the United States. This Is A Direct Appeal To That God Who Is the Avenger of Perjury

“The Constitution enjoins an oath upon all the officers of the United States. This is a direct appeal to that God Who is the avenger of perjury. Such an appeal to Him is a full acknowledgement of His being and providence.” – Oliver Wolcott

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.

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.
