Array ( [sid] => 164621 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Please Just Listen [time] => 2011-02-06 12:42:15 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You can’t punish someone
For something that hurts no one
You can’t lock us up
Until you put your bible up

When will this stop?
When will we legalize the crop?
How many more will be jailed?
How many more will be tailed?

This has to be the end
The real world is around the bend
We promise you this
A life of bliss
If you do what we say
We’ll all have our pay-day

Alcohol will kill your liver
Cocaine will kill you quicker
But marijuana alone
Hurts no one that is grown

It could be billions or trillions
For you and us in taxes
Just pass the law
And tell us what the max is

It is time to abide
So put your bible aside
Wake up to the truth
And stop punishing the youth

THE TIME IS NOW
LEGALIZE SOME HOW

Completely agree, it mystifies me why governments don't legalise.I could rant about this for hours.
Anyway a good point, put across well with great writing.
