God Bless America ... and those destroying it

by Adrian Calhoun

As a child I was taught,
God, duty, country,
in that order.

These days we have cross cultures,
creating aliens in their own homeland.
We have shirked our duties,
letting irresponsibility run rampant
among spoiled brats.

Most distressing,
is the push to abandon God.
Separation of church and state,
has created a power struggle
greater than any one person,
or those fighting for or against the cause.

We have banned prayer,
and reading the bible,
in or at school and school activities.

Now at alarming rates,
our children are using drugs,
getting pregnant younger and younger,
failing or dropping out,
becoming depressed,
killing themselves, and each other.

Where there is no God,
only chaos and evil reign.
A nation not under God,
is the devil's playground.
Our children and grandchildren,
the victims.

I pray for us all !

Unfortunately as fitting today as when you wrote it. I am praying for that this time of unrest and war will bring a spiritual awakening. May it be so!

As current as when you wrote it! This is a poem for this generation certainly in the line of the Old Testament prophets!

No point in praying for me -- I am presumably chaos and evil personified :>
