Leave God Alone!

We are badgered by the media most every other day, Blaring that self-appointed conjurors want to take our God away! Maybe they should be challenged with more productive things to do, Like caring for the hungry and homeless, ceasing such hullabaloo! Seems that most folks find The Creator comforting and consoling, And can do without others' jaundiced views and constant cajoling. It wouldn't harm our youth to respect The Ruler of this celestial ball, Or they might grow to adulthood respecting little or nothing at all! A few misguided souls tout the First Amendment and free speech, When any mention of God is made, thinking it an alarming breach! Did they ever consider they are infringing on another person's right, When they want to cease the mention of God in things we say or write! Prayer is out of schools, they want to change the Pledge of Allegiance, Deleting all references to God and His much needed munificence! The Ten Commandments are no longer desired for general public view. How dare they presume that they are offensive to me and you! Great civilizations have crumbled from far less than we condone. The vast majority of folks believe there is a God yet on His throne, Praying that one day to this great nation sanity will be restored. As the Psalmist said, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!" Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired (© All Rights Reserved)
