America After 1962

On June 25, 1962 prayer was taken out of school It was like losing a ring's precious jewel If you look into America's history You will find that it is no mystery From that date on we haven’t been as strong I believe we have done something terribly wrong What they teach in history books simply overlooks Important information that has raised up a blind generation Youth, family, education, and national life is far from the same We have lost morals and values that our forefathers firmly proclaimed A Blessed Nation under God we have always been But in the last 50 years it has become destroyed by an abundance of sin Divorce rate is at an all-time high While so many children grow up fatherless and wonder why Gang violence increases each day Teenage pregnancy has become a common way Young people search for love in all the wrong places Leaders in government wear faulty faces Role models have become extinct Technology while good has caused many jobs to sink A nation rife with perjury Broken marriage covenants In need of surgery Unforgiveness extortion bribery slander and profanity We need God to restore us too sanity Hypocrisy, and lawsuits initiated solely for revenge and personal gain Doing things are own way has caused us much pain The rich are getting richer and the poor sit back and cry People have lost their integrity yet shake their fists at the sky If you want to learn open a bible and begin to read If we listened to its wisdom we wouldn’t have so much need We have become too liberal as a whole Besides having so much debt, we are all losing our souls If anyone talks about God in school they risk losing their profession Yet more and more young people suffer from anxiety and depression Many are on medication making doctors filthy rich So many people are dying in their own emotional ditch Statistically we are on a downward spiral Many people turn their heads or just live in denial History is important to learn For it shows us how quickly society can turn We all have to answer to God someday And if I were you I would start to learn his way For if we are going to continue to be America the best We have to take a moment to address All the ways we have allowed this country to slip Take personal responsibility and restore our spiritual grips Weneed to take back the people's power We are living in a crucial hour If we don’t open our eyes ears and mouths we will fall instead of just bend who knows this time if this damage we can mend. by: Sabina nicole

Wow! A powerful write, Sabina. It's so sad to see how far our country has fallen because we have rejected God. Thanks for writing this soul-stirring message. Love, Kim

Its all so true...I cry for America, The bible says "If my people will turn from their wicked ways I will heal their land" well thats what we need to all do...We are going to fall if we dont stand up and take our country back to its first love!!!! we were one nation under God for a reason...we were rich and blesses above all others because of God, now we pushed him out of everything and He is a crime to even talk about, This is Maddness...God please heal my land:(
