This is an email that I received from a friend in Arizona. I thought it was important to share with those who care about what's happening in our world.
----------------------------------
WRITTEN BY A 15 yr. old SCHOOL KID IN ARIZONA :
New Pledge of Allegiance (TOTALLY AWESOME) !
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 the attached
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

"Now I sit me down in school
where praying is against the rule."
You have it wrong, your bias shows-
Pray! But prayer do not impose.
You can even pray to pass the course,
though study's a more potent force.
"For this great nation under God
finds mention of Him very odd."
This statement's plain and simple wrong-
such mentions put where they belong.
None withholds the right from you
to talk of God, and Satan too.
Just do not do it anywhere,
for your beliefs all do not share.
"If scripture now the class recites,
it violates the Bill of Rights."
Reciting scripture is no crime-
(and give Mohammed equal time.)
Where many cultures intersect
of all we ought to have respect.
No one message should be stressed
and therefore all should be suppressed.
"The law is specific, the law is precise-
prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the state."
When praying you can shout and moan,
but kindly do it when alone.
And do not say God's name is banned
when it's heard throughout the land.
"For praying in a public hall
might offend someone! with no faith at all."
Now when the simple truth you speak
your cynicism then grows weak.
"Our hair can be purple, orange, or green-
that's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
We're allowed to curse and dress like freaks,
and pierce our noses, tongues, and cheeks."
Even though they may look odd,
that doesn't mean they don't love God;
and if their hair is painted pink
it does not mean in sin they sink.
"We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
and the 'unwed daddy' our Senior King."
Now when it comes to pregnant Queens
and unwed dads still in their teens,
this Christian rule you should apply-
love the sinner, sin decry.
"It's inappropriate to teach right from wrong;
we're taught such 'judgments' don't belong.
The ten commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd."
Teaching right from wrong is right-
no one sanctions moral blight.
The bible's not the textbook, though;
and heathens, right from wrong, may know.
Ethics, reason may impart;
Religion need not play a part.
"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."
It may be true religion breeds,
through fear and terror, moral deeds.
But don't believe you can't be killed
by those by whom the church is filled.
God Bless
