Thou Shalt Not
In Louisiana, there’s a law
That people ought to hate,
About the 10 Commandments,
Which defies church versus state.
For every public classroom
Must, in giant font, display
These rules, where courts already ruled
That students need not pray.
Of course, no one should kill or steal
Or covet, but for all,
The Lord and Sabbath references
Should not be on the wall.
In private or religious settings,
Thou shalt save a spot
For the 10 Commandments, but in public
Buildings, thou shalt not!
