Bibles or Guns?


A Poem that makes you really THINK...

Written by a 12 year old in Boston:

 

Now I lay 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.

Anytime my head I bow

Becomes a federal matter now.

 

The law is specific; the law is precise.

Praying out loud is no longer nice.

Praying aloud in a public hall

Upsets those who believe in nothing at all.

 

In silence alone we can meditate

And if God should get the credit--great!

They are bringing their guns,

I don't dare bring my Bible,

 

To do so might make me liable.

So, now Oh Lord, this plea I make;

Should I be shot in school,

My soul please take.
