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.
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.'' > >> Not ashamed. Passing this on . .
