I got this in a forward and checked it's origins. UrbanLegends says that it is Moore's poetry style and that he did write a portion of it. Anyway, it is a good poem and I wanted to share it.

Here is the song "In God We Still Trust", which was written and dedicated to Judge Roy Moore, see the video here: (I have this song in another post also.)

The following is a poem written by Judge Roy Moore from Alabama ...
Judge Moore was sued by the ACLU for displaying the Ten Commandments in his courtroom foyer. He has been stripped of his judgeship and now they are trying to strip his right to practice law in Alabama.
The judge's poem sums it up quite well.
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 with draw
His hand from Thee.
~~Judge Roy Moore~~
Thank you God for giving us the courage and strength to stand up for what is right even when it means we will be ridiculed and despised - just like Jesus Christ. Amen.
