This prayer is a great message to open people’s eyes to reality. It’s sad how we as a society seem to be against an act that is meant as an positive statement/prayer/thought. We clam how we are free and have the right to free speech and expression but look how one can’t even say a simple prayer in school for the better of everyone. Weather you are in agreement or against prayer in school, this is a perfect message that can not be argued.

I tried to track down the origin of this prayer but it appears it’s uncertain as to when exactly it all started and who actually wrote it. There has been alterations to this prayer as time has gone by. However in my mind the origin or the author is not what is important here. The message has remained the same, clear and to the point. It’s worth the read and I think it’s worth passing on to whom those that wish to read it. I’m not saying to start spamming people, please do not start that we all have enough of it.

This prayer, which is a sad commentary on American society today, was written by a teenager in Bagdad, Arizona.

Now I sit me down in school
Where prayer 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.
