A 2018 version of the Lord's prayer for schools The L-rd's Prayer by a 15 year old school kid who got an A+ for it. The L-rd's Prayer is not allowed in may United States Public Schools any more. A kid in Minnesota wrote the following school prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under G-d 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 school Might offend someone with no faith at all In silence alone we must meditate G-d's Name is prohibited by the state We are 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 Is it appropriate to teach right from wrong? We are taught that such judgments do not belong We can get our condoms and birth control Study witchcraft, vampires, and totem poles But the Ten Commandments are not allowed No word of G-d must reach this crowd It's scary here, I must confess When chaos reigns the school's a mess So L-rd, this solemn plea I make Should I be shot, my soul please take. |
