  Stop the Insanity Part V

Bitter Harvest

What's wrong with our children?
The time has come for us to think
It has taken many mistaken steps
To bring us to the brink  

Thirty some odd years ago
Madeline O'Hare
To not offend atheists
We must forbid school prayer  

The ACLU joined her cause
Told the courts she's right
So in school prayer was banished
Without much of a fight.  

No Bible, Torah, or Koran,
They teach God and creation
We gave in without much fuss
Cause we're so civilized a nation  

Forbidden books so useful
Strong morals to instill
Each of these in their own words
Proclaim thou shall not kill.  

Then Dr. Spock convinced us
That spanking was too mean
It will warp our children
Bruise their self esteem  

Self esteem that's never bruised
Builds no strength and remains tender
The real world doesn't care
About your self esteem, remember  

So how will they ever cope
When their self esteem is trampled
By peers, bosses, and lovers
Are going postal and school shootings examples?  

Teenage abortions must be allowed
No need for parental consent
To not face her mom and dad
Saves her embarrassment  

Give all the boys free condoms
We'll protect them in this way
Cause you know boys will be boys
And boys all want to play  

Then the leaders of our land
Put low moral on display
As long as they do their jobs
Their private sins should be OK  

It's been a long time coming
Inch by inch we watched it grow
The banished Bible says it best
You shall reap just what you sow.

If prohibition taught us anything... we should remember the results of trying to legislate morality
