JusJoJan – Day No: 31

Today’s prompt: chaos

Within moments of awakening my mind is filled with emotional chaos (clutter).

To combat thousands of negative intrusive thoughts daily is a tiresome process. 

Amidst fallacies, pitfalls and extreme emotional pain I thank the Lord for being

by my side and allowing me to compile a lengthy resume of creativity.

Blogging, although quite therapeutic, came at a price. 

The consequences of my inactions with regard to some areas of my life has placed

me in a state of chaos that only I can fix. 

I’ll remain in touch with bloggers who were ‘true’ virtual friends as I’ve enjoyed

reading their posts, the positive interaction and participation in the world of prompts. 

To them I say a sincere ‘Thank You’.

Life’s Seasons

Diamonds and Pearls
Cash and Kings
Youth's wonderful dreams

So tired
Newest favorite words
Goals attained left state bedlam

Twists 'n turns
Too early - too late
Soon fear no longer give a damn

Today's world rules total change
Genuine humans frequently bypassed 
Time indulge scoops waffle cone ice cream.

School Prayer a 15-year old’s version

Now I sit me down in school
Where praying is against the rule.
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.
Our hair can be purple, orange or green,
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.
For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God's name is prohibited by the State.
We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks.
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible,
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.
We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the 'unwed daddy', our Senior King.
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.
We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.
It's scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.
So Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot, My soul please take!
Amen.

NOTE:
A 15-year old teen wrote the above prayer IMO quite Awesome.
In the US The Lord's Prayer is not allowed in most Public schools.
The student received an A+ for this entry. Bravo!!
