HE'S TRIED !!

Want to get a serious dose
Of what's known as culture shock?
Go online...check out curriculum
Of the public school down the block!
Or of college institutions
Anywhere in this great nation
And you will come away I fear
Filled with quiet desperation!
Satanism, birth control...
Witchcraft, the practice of
Spells and potions, magic arts
How to sacrifice a dove !!??!!??
A course on Homosexuality
Defined quaintly as a 'life choice'
An in-depth course on 'gansta rap'
As a way for teens to find their voice!
A detailed look at online porn
That is by some considered "art"?
Can someone, somewhere tell me when
Did all this madness start?
All the subjects listed here
Turned up in a Google search..
Of American school curriculum
And it made my stomach lurch!!
But editorials in the papers
And commentaries on network news?
Tonight will once again complain
As they pretend to be confused!
Concerned about the morals
Of the upcoming generation...
No kidding!!! They're being forcefed
Heaping piles of degradation!!
We teach impressionable 8th graders
About devil worship and it's tools...
But a teacher mentions the name of GOD
And it's breaking several rules!
What the hell happened to America?
For us to think this is Ok...
Is there anyone with enough common sense
To stand up and yell HEY!!!!!!!!!
"Enough already...stop this crap!"
Not politically correct?
Too damn bad....do we sit and watch
As a generation dies of neglect??
Then when something awful happens
Like Katrina or 9/Eleven...
We flock to church...ask "where was GOD?"
While shaking our fists at Heaven!!
But we kicked Him out of all the schools...
We want His name gone from our money..
Say grace now in a restaurant?
And folks look at you funny!!

We bend over backwards every day
To ensure we don't offend
A hundred groups or coalitions
By thoughtless words we can't defend
But what about God in Heaven?
He's been ridiculed and ignored
Contradicted, then denied...
Our ancestors would be floored!?
Americans used to be so convinced
That the Lord was on our side...
We sing "GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
Well, I submit...HE's tried!!
