(Come Back Into Our Schools)


Poem Artwork

 

Come back into our school house, put guns where they belong.

Forgive us for our ignorance, we know now that was wrong.

Prayer has been illegal, no commandments on the walls.

Teachers even fear the kids, there’s chaos in the halls.

 

Nine one one’s not quick enough and it will never be,

While prayer is just one breath away, from your authority.

So hear this humble solemn prayer and end this silly rule.

Fill our hearts with common sense, come back into our school.

 

In Jesus Name Amen

 

Inspired by and dedicated to the victims of Columbine High School.

The above art is from the collection of Danny Hahlbohm.

Amen to your words. Your words are like a candle burning, so brightly so that all may hear the Spirit that dwells within. God bless.

---I do so agree...You know in my son's pre school, they didn't say the pledge .."to the flag... and to the republic...one nation under ____SILENCE----- amd liberty and justice for all" I thought WHAT THE HELL! AT first they were not saying it AT ALL. My daughter knew it at 3 in her school. World is crazy. AMEN to this prose! Wonderful job.

This is just marvelous, William! The third stanza struck me like steel on bread:
'Nine one one's not quick enough
and it will never be
While prayer is just one breath away,
From your authority'

I like that, 'While prayer is just one breath away from your authority.' BEAUTIFUL and sensational. I'll come back for more, I reckon.

Warm Love
