New Pledge of Allegiance

[samofny]

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore,
because the word "God" is mentioned, a kid in Arizona wrote this 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 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 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


Luke 9:26
For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words,
of him shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he shall come in his own glory,
and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

Reading this, reminds of all the school violence thats taking place.
They allow so much negativity that its hard not to expect diaster.

You reap what you sow.

And sadly because they removed God from our schools, we have to bury kids.

Thanks for posting
not only a poem its reality,
so what are we going to do ?

Perhaps we should try another approach. Ever hear of someone complain of "Allah" being mentioned in the schools...? Probably not. Our liberal society believes that Allah is just another name for God (wrong). With all of the names of God in the Bible, we have a plethora to choose from.

From Easton's Dictionary:
Jehovah-jireh
Jehovah will see; i.e., will provide, the name given by Abraham to the scene of his offering up the ram which was caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah. The expression used in Gen 22:14, “in the mount of the Lord it shall be seen,” has been regarded as equivalent to the saying, “Man's extremity is God's opportunity.”

Jehovah-nissi
Jehovah my banner, the title given by Moses to the altar which he erected on the hill on the top of which he stood with uplifted hands while Israel prevailed over their enemies the Amalekites (Exo 17:15).

Jehovah-shalom
Jehovah send peace, the name which Gideon gave to the altar he erected on the spot at Ophrah where the angel appeared to him (Jdg 6:24).

Jehovah-shammah
Jehovah is there, the symbolical title given by Ezekiel to Jerusalem, which was seen by him in vision (Eze 48:35). It was a type of the gospel Church.

Jehovah-tsidkenu
Jehovah our righteousness, rendered in the Authorized Version, “The Lord our righteousness, “a title given to the Messiah (Jer 23:6, marg.), and also to Jerusalem (Jer 33:16, marg.).
