Poems by Judge Roy Moore

The first poem here is one written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama along with an anonymous co-writer. The second entirely by his own hand. Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his position and now they are trying to strip his right to even practice law in Alabama. The judge's poems sum it up quite well. (I apologize about the layout. I don't know why it won't keep the spaces in the proper places Jen)

America the Beautiful,

Or so you used to be.

Land of the Pilgrims' pride;

I'm glad they'll never see.

Babies piled in dumpsters,

Abortion on demand,

Oh, sweet land of liberty;

Your house is on the sand.

Our children wander aimlessly

Poisoned by cocaine,

Choosing to indulge their lusts,

When God has said abstain.

From sea to shining sea,

Our nation turns away

From the teaching of God's love

And a need to always pray.

We've kept God in our temples,

How callous we have grown.

When Earth is but His footstool,

And Heaven is His throne.

We've voted in a government

that's rotting at the core,

Appointing godless judges

Who throw reason out the door,

Too soft to place a killer

In a well deserved tomb,

But brave enough to kill a baby

Before he leaves the womb.

You think that God's not angry,

That our land's a moral slum?

How much longer will He wait

Before His judgment comes?

How are we to face our God,

From Whom we cannot hide?

What then is left for us to do,

But stem this evil tide?

If we who are His children,

Will humbly turn and pray;

Seek His holy face

And mend our evil way:

Then God will hear from Heaven

And forgive us of our sins,

He'll heal our sickly land

And those who live within.

But, America the Beautiful,

If you don't - then you will see,

A sad but Holy God

Withdraw His hand from thee.

OUR AMERICAN BIRTHRIGHT

By Circuit Judge Roy S. Moore July, 1998

One nation under God was their cry and declaration,

Upon the law of Nature's God they built a mighty Nation.

For unlike mankind before them who had walked this earthen sod,

These men would never question the Sovereignty of God.

That all men were "created" was a truth "self-evident,"

To secure the rights God gave us was the role of government.

And if any form of government became destructive of this end,

It was their right, their duty, a new one to begin.

So with a firm reliance on Divine Providence for protection,

They pledged their sacred honor and sought His wise direction.

They lifted an appeal to God for all the world to see,

And declared their independence forever to be free.

I'm glad they're not here with us to see the mess we're in,

How we've given up our righteousness for a life of indulgent sin.

For when abortion isn't murder and sodomy is deemed a right,

Then evil is now called good and darkness is now called light.

While truth and law were founded on the God of all Creation,

Man now, through law, denies the truth and calls it "separation."

No longer does man see a need for God when he's in full control,

For the only truth self-evident is in the latest poll.

But with man as his own master we fail to count the cost,

Our precious freedoms vanish and our liberty is lost.

Children are told they can't pray and they teach them evolution,

When will they learn the fear of God is the only true solution?

Our schools have become the battleground while all across the land,

Christians shrug their shoulders afraid to take a stand.

And from the grave their voices cry the victory has been won.

Just glorify the Father as did His only Son.

When your work on earth is done, and you've traveled where we've trod,

You'll leave the land we left to you, ONE NATION UNDER GOD!
