>
>
> 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 ele ct 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
