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....very much!
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
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." I’m Not ashamed. I’m Passing this on .

Thanks for posting this! It rings so true... especially with the "under God" taken out of the allegiance... I think Congress reinstated that though... Bravo to that kid out in Arizonia who wrote this!

well done and of course your right to your opinion
i feel prayer has no place in school at an my by any excuse
just as parents shound so not force their childrend to pary at meals or go to sunday school or to church
i find christianity contridictory as in
do as we say not as we do
we love you if............
you obey us
you are not gay
you are not a pagan witch
i hate the line that they say in the churches
jesus is the only way.
now im not gay
but i am a pagan
and i agree to a point that there should be disipline but not based on some all powerful
man in the sky
I think god is a woman anyway!
but hey your poem rocked
very well stated and clear
nice job |
