I Timothy 3:15
A Student’s 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 the 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 "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,
the school's a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot, MY SOUL PLEASE
TAKE
.
