A POEM FROM OUR YOUTH: Inspirational stories
<p>
Now I sit me down in school<br>
Where praying is against the rule<br>
For in this great nation under God<br>
Finds mention of Him very odd. <br><br>
If Scripture now the class recites, <br>
It violates the bill of rights<br>
And anytime my head I bow<br>
Becomes a Federal matter now. <br><br>
Our hair can be purple, orange or green, <br>
That's no offense, it's freedoms scene<br>
The law is specific, the law is precise<br>
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. <br><br>
For praying in a public hall<br>
Might offend someone with no faith at all. <br>
In silence alone we must meditate, <br>
God's name is prohibited by the state. <br><br>
We are allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, <br>
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks<br>
They've outlawed guns, but first the bible<br>
To quote the Good Book makes me liable. <br><br>
We can elect a pregnant senior queen<br>
And the 'unwed daddy' our senior king<br>
It's "inappropriate" to teach right from wrong<br>
We're taught that such "judgments" do not belong<br><br>.
We can get our condoms and birth controls<br>
Study which craft, vampires and totem poles<br>
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed<br>
Now a word of God must reach this crowd<br><br>
It is scary here I must confess<br>
When chaos reigns the school's a mess<br>
So, Lord this silent plea I make<br>
Should I be shot; My soul please take! <br><br>
Amen
