The Butterfly School

Nov. 12, 2008

Ahhh, finally something worth blogging about...

I recieved this in an email from Hubby today and wanted to share it.  It was written by a student in Arizona, but I don't have a name to give credit to.  If anyone out there knows the source, please tell me so I can give credit where it is due.

 

 

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


 

If you aren't ashamed to do this, 
please pass this on. 

Jesus said, 
'If you are ashamed of me, 
I will be ashamed of you before my Father.' 



Not ashamed. Pass this on.
