Doing Drugs With The Letter Of The Law

Are You On Drugs?

In the D.A.R.E. carnival ride s.u.v....

Dazed and confused, with 

the will to be

happy,

or a reason to be

sad.

I look upon my peers,

at recess

and in the classroom,

where I find

something
to do.

The officer is my buddy.

The officer cares.

The officer knows a lot about baseball!

Passing out bubble gum and baseball cards
helping the children in need.

There is a treat coming to your school:

Story time statistics of the (dead) letter of the law.

Uninspiring the children to a life of drug abuse.

Since they know not the (living) spirit of the law.

Drugged for childhood, 
the self-abandoned -- 
immature in their nihilist chemistry.

Home

and in my room,

where 
I find

something 

to do.

In the D.A.R.E. carnival ride s.u.v.,
passing out bubble gum and
baseball cards; helping the children in need.
