 Someone sent me this poem and I really liked it and wanted to share it with everyone.
****NEW SCHOOL PRAYER****
Now I sit me down in school
where praying is against the rule
for this great nation under god
finds mention of him very odd
if scripture now the class recites,
it violates the bill of rights.
and anytime my head i bow
it becomes a federal matter now
our hair can be purple, orange or green,
that's no offense, it's a freedom scene
the law is specific, the law is precise
prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
for praying in a public hall
might offend someone with no faith at all.
in silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state.
we're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
and pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
they've outlawed guns, but FIRST the bible.
to quote the good book makes me liable.
we can elect a pregnant senior queen,
and the 'unwed daddy' our senior king.
it's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,
we're taught that such "judgements" do not belong.
we can get our condoms and birth control,
study withcraft, vampires and totem poles.
but the ten commandments are not allowed,
no word of God must reach this crowd.
it's scary here i must confess,
when chaos reigns the school's a mess.
so, lord, this silent plea i make:
should i be shot, my soul please take!
It is sad that they keep trying to take God out of everything and then wonder why all these terrible things are happening in our schools and around the world.
