New School Prayer

“The New School Prayer” puts a different spin on the usual arguments in support of school prayer by asserting that the kids themselves — not just their parents — want organized prayer re-instituted within the public school system. - Exerpt fromSnopes Review

"New School Prayer" written by a teen student in Bagdad, Arizona.

Now I sit me down in school, where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God, finds His name 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 Freedoms scene

The Law is specific, the Law is precise, Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice

For Praying in public hall, might offend someone with no faith at all

In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibit by the state

We're allowed to cuss & dress like freaks, pierce our tongues & cheeks

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible, to quote the good book make me liable

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen & the "unwed" Daddy our Senior King

It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong, we're taught such "judgments" do not belong

We can get our condoms & birth controls, study witchcraft, vampires & totem poles
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed, No word of God must reach the crowd

It's scary here I must confess, when chaos reins the school's a mess

So Lord this silent plea I make: should I be shot, my Soul please take

AMEN!

Where God Ain't

He was just a little boy on a week's first day. He was wandering home from Sunday School and dawdling on the way. He scuffed his shoes into the grass, He found a caterpillar. He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the "filler." A bird's nest in a tree over head, So wisely placed on high. Was just another wonder that caught his eager eye. A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn; Asked him where he'd been that day, and what was going on. "I've been to Bible School," he said, and turned a piece of sod. He picked up a wiggly worm replying, "I've learned a lot of God." "M'mm very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time." "If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime." Quick as a flash the answer came. Nor were his accents faint: "I'll give you a dollar Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't! ~Author Unknown~
