NEW School Prayer
Believed to be written by a 15 yr. old school kid in Ohio -- since the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer are not allowed in schools anymore, because the word 'God' is mentioned ... a kid in Ohio wrote ...
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 Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's 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.

Was it Ohio, Arizona, or Boston? Or did it appear in the Washington Times as far back as 1992, or the Detroit News in 1993?

I DON'T KNOW!! But who cares! I just thought the sentiment was worth sharing. If you've seen this before -- sorry. I get emails all the time that have been passed around several times over the years.

I personally think this poem is a bunch of nonsense. The law states that public schools cannot sponsor prayer. Individual students are free to pray as much as they want so long as they do not create an undue distraction to those around them.
