Judge Moore wrote a poem called, America the Beautiful which is very appropriate in light of the coming presidential election:
"America the Beautiful, or so you used to be,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride, I'm glad they'll never see.
Babies piled in dumpsters, abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is built on sand.
"Your children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea this Nation has turned away,
From the teaching of God's law, and a need to always pray.
"So many worldly pastors telling lies about our Rock,
Saying God is going broke so they can fleece the flock.
We've kept God in our temples, how foolish we have grown,
When all the earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.
"We've voted in governments that are rotting to the core
Appointing Godless judges who throw reason out the door.
Too soft to put 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 it be before His judgement comes?
And how can we face our God, from whom we cannot hide?
What is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide!
"For if we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray,
If we seek His holy face, and mend our evil way,
Then God will hear from heaven and forgive us 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 remove His hand from thee."
