What if chemists had never made Cocaine into a lethal substance?
Imagine That.
What if the GDP did NOT relate to the expenses of our prison system
as an asset to our gross domestic product?
Hmm
Imagine That.
What if the only reason a young person did drugs or drank alcohol was because they were so available and they were told not to touch these things?
Hmmmm
Imagine That.
Wealthy people have the arrogance to believe that their wealth is an adornment and confirmation of their God's approval for their actions on Earth.
Hmmmmmmmm
Imagine That.
The following is a song about one of the lucrative governmental and local trades that has been a part of our society for centuries but recently developed into a monsterous industry even here in our 21st century society.
Which industry, you might ask?
The Department of Corrections and
Youth and young adult's judiciary systems and Child Welfare systems.
The song is called:
War on Drugs:
Chasing our children through the streets,
Tearing their suckling mouths from the teat,
Imprisoning youth for the crimes of the elite,
While politicians argue the meaning of deceit
How can our teenagers pay for the drugs?
Why are our children's faces on mug shots?
A child cannot barter the borders and thugs,
While politicans profit from their "wars upon drugs"
...
Leave them alone, go busting the feds,
Show me one child who can pharm his own reds,
Stop waiting in ambush to fill them with lead,
Look to your captains and union heads.
Cyclical logic and sick little schemes,
This sickle slices up innocent dreams,
What do young people have to do with this theme?
Don't try to tell me that they are the demons.
..
Kids did not give those drugs to their peers,
It isn't their fault that we target their fears,
Because we can catch them, we sharpen our spears,
But how will this alter the path of profiteers?
We claim to be protecting our children from drugs,
Arresting them and molesting and labeling them thugs,
We throw them in the path of more dangerous lugs,
Then tell them that this is the hole that THEY dug?
...
Leave them alone, go busting the feds,
Show me one child who can pharm his own reds,
Stop waiting in ambush to fill them with lead,
Look to your captains and union heads
Cyclical logic and sick little schemes,
This sickle slices up innocent dreams,
What do young people have to do with this theme?
Don't try to tell me that they are the demons
...
"Prozac and valium are good for our Moms",
Just give her a baggie or fill up her bong,
People have made their own cures for so long,
At least let the people decide their own wrongs.
If psychiatrists push their own drugs for our woes
and alchys can still drink their own lethal dose,
Why can't I smoke of the weeds that grow?
It doesn't mean we have to legalize Coc
...
Leave them alone, go busting the feds,
Show me one child who can pharm his own reds,
Stop waiting in ambush to fill them with lead,
Look to your captains and union heads.
Cyclical logic and sick little schemes,
This sickle slices up innocent dreams,
What do young people have to do with this theme?
Don't try to tell me that they are the demons.
...
I'm tired of seeing my taxes pissed away,
Ruining young lives for the rest of their days,
"Cops" on TV try to make them look depraved,
But look at the systems that breed this melee.
Give me back my children and keep your laws,
I want to insert a sanity clause,
"No legislation that ignores the cause,
and locks up the victim to sharpen it's claws."
...
Leave them alone, go busting the feds,
Show me one child who can pharm his own reds,
Stop waiting in ambush to fill them with lead,
Look to your captains and union heads.
Cyclical logic and sick little schemes,
This sickle slices up innocent dreams,
What do young people have to do with this theme?
Don't try to tell me that they are the demons.
Chasing our own children through the streets ??
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Imagine That
...civilization???
