A prayer
we could all use.....
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 . .
