Pledge of Allegiance Prayer

A few days ago, I received the following message on e-mail.  I liked it, decided to share it here.  It somewhat relates to issues I’ve talked about in past entries, and ones I plan to write about in the future, such as contradictions and focusing on the wrong areas.

 

—————————————————————————

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 this 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 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, lips and cheeks.

They’ve outlawed guns, but FIRST The Bible.

To quotes the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect pregnant Senior Queen,

And the’unwed daddy.’ our Senior King.

It’s "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong,

We’re taught such "judgements" 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.

 

Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
