Patriotic Poem Written by Judge Roy Moore-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor
A poem said to have been written by the famous "Ten Commandments Judge" Roy Moore of Alabama.

The Truth
According to the folks at the Foundation For Moral Law this poem was written by Judge Moore.
The Foundation For Moral Law had championed the cause of Judge Moore and his defense of The Ten Commandments.
The name Judge Roy Moore became well known across America when he was sued by the ACLU for a wood-burned miniature of The Ten Commandments that was on display in his courtroom.
He won that three-year case on a technicality.
He later became Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court and had a 2 1/2 ton monument of The Ten Commandments brought into the Supreme Court building.
He was again sued by the ACLU and that case resulted in an order to have the monument removed.
Judge Moore refused and was removed from his post as Chief Justice.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

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
withdraw His hand from Thee.

~Judge Roy Moore

Pass this on and let's lift Judge Moore up in prayer. He has stood firm and needs our support.
