NEW SCHOOL PRAYER

First I want to recommend you visit my other blog to see the tribute to my mother for Spiritual Sundays. Here's the link to that: Charloltte's Weblog

I received an interesting email this morning from my good friend, Dorothy. Instead of passing the email on I decided to post it here on my blog. It's sad but true.

New School Prayer (Someone worked hard on this.)

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 silenced 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!

After getting this ready to post, I decided to share it on Spiritual Sundays although I've already shared something there today.
