Eliminate The Waste
Hard as we may try
they can't be stopped
refuse to accept help
ignore the words of the wise
To make peace
we must give them what they want
allow for easy access
because those who would do it
illegally
will be the first in line when there's
no penalty
Why discard valuable seconds on those
wasting their lives away
when others are in need
Why give them the satisfaction
of getting away with the crime
Drugs
Easy to obtain if you want them
Simple to ignore if you don't
