Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not
allowed in most public schools anymore because the word "God" is
mentioned....
a kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School
prayer. I liked it....
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
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 "judgments" do not belong.
We can get
our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, 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!
Amen
If you aren't ashamed to do
this, please pass this on.
Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be
ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed. Passing this on .
