Thought for the Day:New School Prayer

Since the pledge of Allegiance and the "Lords Prayer" are not allowed in most public schools anymore because the word "GOD" is mentioned...A Kid in Arizona wrote the following:

"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 BECOMESE 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 MEDITATATE; GOD'S NAME IS PROHIBITED BY THE STATE.

WE'RE ALLOWED TO CUSS AND DRESS LIKE FREAKS, AND PIERCE OUR NOSES, TONGUES AND CHEEKS.

WE CAN ELECT A PREGNANT SENIOR QUEEN, AND THE UNWED DADDY, OUR SENIOR KING.

Its "INAPPROPRIATE" TO TEACH RIGHT FROM WRONG,

WE'RE TAUGHT THAT SUCH "JUDGEMENTS" DO NOT BELONG.

WE CAN GET OUR CONDOMS AND BIRTH CONTROLL,

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!
