Poem about America

A sad but true poem about our country!

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 m editate, God's name is prohibited by the state.20

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, 0ANo word of God must reach this crowd.

It's scary here I must confess, Whe n 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.

Answer to Prayers!

Today we were out on the boat all day long. We left the house at about 9:30ish. We fished around a bit and also tanned or for me, burned. As we anchored the boat at an Island we ate lunch, relaxed, and swam around. Then we headed back for the pier as it was about to rain. Once we got back the boat all hooked up to the car and got settled for the drive home, it started raining a bit. Once we got home we cleaned the boat and the dog! I had a few pictures to share, but unfortunately my camera is no longer alive (it drowned.) As we were heading into the water at the island I forgot to take my camera out of my pocket until a few minutes later. I took it out and let it dry, but it did not work. Fortunately my prayers were answered. I have been debating over the past few months on getting a really nice camera or getting a laptop. I started praying about it and asking God witch one I should get. Now I know! So basically, we had a really fun day and my parents are in San Fransisco!!!!

THE SNEEZE

I got this short story on an email. I thought it was very good and just wanted to share it with you! Read it, it doesn't take long.

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing and the traditional caps, they looked almost ... as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and moms freely brushed away tears. This class would NOT pray during the commencements----not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it. The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling. They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for blessings on the graduates or their families. The speeches were nice, but they were routine ... until the final speech received a standing ovation. A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened....All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!! The student on stage.. simply looked at the audience and said, 'GOD BLESS YOU' each and every one of you!' And then he calmly walked off stage... The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval. Isn't this a wonderful story? Pass it on to all your friends.........and GOD BLESS YOU!!!! This is a true story; it happened at the University of Maryland . And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
