THE NEW SCHOOL PRAYER
This was written by a teen in Bagdad, Arizona.
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, 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
