Worth Repeating

BY A 15 yr. OLD SCHOOL KID

 

who got an A+ for this entry

(TOTALLY AWESOME)!

 

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 Pledge of Allegiance"  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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
