A New School Prayer

A 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 the class now 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 precise
Prayers spoken aloud area serious vice
For praying in a public hall
Might offend one 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 outlawed guns but first the Bible
To quote the Good Book makes us liable
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen
And an unwed daddy our Senior King
It's inappropriate to teach right from wrong
We're taught that such "judgements" 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 school's a mess
So Lord this silent plea I make
Should I be shot
My soul please take.

Amen.
