Written by a teen in Arizona, the poem expresses his thinking on some confusing school rules and regulations. 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. Becomes a Federal matter now. 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. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can get our condoms and birth controls, Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles. I must confess, When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
