The Lord’s Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer is not allowed in most  U.S. Public schools any more.  A kid in Minnesota, wrote the following:

Now I sit 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 U.S. Bill of Rights.
And at anytime my head I bow
It will become a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, yellow or green,
That’s no offense as 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,
As 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 not 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 control,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach any 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.
