WHERE DID WE GO WRONG






    It has been asked,"Where did we go wrong"? The answer goes
    back to when we allowed God to be taken out of our schools
    and government.

    It started when we allowed one person to sue the government
    and have prayer taken out of our schools.

    It continued when we allowed our government to interpret our
    laws and add their own ideas as to what our laws meant.

    Separation of Church and State never was meant to void our
    government of God's hand. Man made that interpretation.

    When we allowed our government to tell us that we could not
    discipline our children.

    When our children were taught that anything they wanted was
    fine and that parents should not be allowed to interfere.

    When our children was handed condoms in school instead of
    religious tracts. Then told that abortion was all right if
    they failed to use the condoms.

    When our children were taught to call the Child Protective
    Services when they did not agree with the way parents
    wanted to run their homes.

    When the concept is taught that it takes a "Village To
    Raise A Child" and the rights of the parents are taken away.

    When our children was taught that disrespect was all right
    and they should follow their own conscience.

    When something happens and every excuse in the world is
    used to condemn the action.

    Where did we go wrong? We allowed the government to blame
    guns for the problems we are having with our children.

    We allow them to make more and more laws that deal with
    guns, when there are all ready more laws than they can
    enforce.

    When we elect government officials that have no idea of
    what the problem is and they just grab for any excuse
    that is handed down, without checking to see if it is true.

    When we go to the poles and elect officials that will not
    stand up for the God given rights of all of us.

    So, Where Did We Go Wrong? It was when we allowed a very
    few, to tell us how to raise our children and those same
    few to be responsible for getting Charles Darwin's theories
    taught in our schools as the truth and not allowing God's
    word to be taught.

    Next is a poem that I feel, tells us where we are. If our
    children are not in God's arms, then they must be in the
    street.


    PRO AND CON
    From the bible we are taught that we should love one another.
    On the street, we are taught to kill our brother.

    The bible says that we should share and to give.
    In the street, we rob and steal so we can live.

    The bible says for us to spread good will to all of mankind.
    But, on the street, we form gangs so our security will not
    be undermined.

    God's law says that we should obey the laws of the land.
    Street law teaches disrespect, cheating and loyalty to
    the band.

    It says in the bible we will be known by the fruits of our
    labor.
    On the street, it is strictly by our behavior.

    God gave us all colors that we could enjoy.
    If you wear the wrong ones, the street will destroy.

    God said that there was no greater love than to lay down
    your life for a friend.
    Now, drive by killings for no reason, is the trend.

    Just what is happening to this world of man.
    It has been changing since God spit into the sand.

    I do not feel that street law was ever in God's plan.
    Street law must have been dreamed up by some evil man.

    When given the choice, God's law is really a treat.
    I suppose the Devil feels right at home, living in the
    street.

    We have been taught to pray for peace in Jerusalem. We had
    better pray for the peace in our own country as well as
    Jerusalem.
