No Offense Taken "Government Education Film On Drugs"

(Black and white film screen with an action hero addressing the audience)
Dr. Dooright: Hello I'm superhero Dr. Door-right Doo-right. Start again. (walks off reenters) Hey kids I'm superhero Dr. Doo-Right and I'm here to tell you how to do right by me. Today, in our first of a long series of adolescent education features we'll be addressing drugs. Some drugs are bad and some drugs are good, but unlike people you cannot tell the difference simply by looking at them. No it's more complicated than that. You have to look at how the drug is packaged. If it's in a bottle like (shows products) Prozac, Aleve or horse tranquilizers you know it's safe. Now here is where it gets difficult, if it is a rolled cylinder substance like (shows products) tobacco or marijuana you have to distinguish it by the odor it puts out. If it's herbal it's dangerous and should never be used, but if it's nicotine with a hint of arsenic, ammonia, cyanide, carbon monoxide and or menthol you know it is completely safe. The simplest method is if you find it in your local pharmacy it's safe, that includes everything: the crayons, the glue, the aerosol spray cans and the paint.If it's not report to us any fatalities and start a petition for a congressional bill to put a label on the product in question, that is if you can successfully sue the company that made and distributed the product in question. So that's all and until next time watch out.

Bus Ride
Another lonely bus ride
With some aloof stranger by my side
The ride always goes so slow
When all anyone's worried about is where to go
Two dozen people with no relation
Just traveling on the same transportation
Going on the same route with the same view
Day after day wasting an hour with nothing to do

Tragedy Of America
Conservatives can't recognize tragedy
Only commercial opportunity
"Remember 9/11 forget the Tsunami"
"Don't worry about the Ozone drive an SUV"
"Why worry about Abu Ghaib when there's sodomy?"
"Violence is always wrong except in the case of Christianity"
"He did cocaine but Bill smoked pot, He lied about war atrocity but Bill lied about adultery"
I've had enough of this straight laced insanity

Alicia
I notice you reading a holy writing
Making my heart brighten
We found a bond of faith and goals
I came to appreciate your mind, body and soul
I told you I love you but not how much
You gave me your number to keep in touch
I love you like a friend but long for something more
But you ain't ready for something less pure
I don't blame you
I don't wanna defame you
You're looking for a friend and you think I wanna date
But I'm also looking for a friend and also a soulmate

Guarantees of Life

If there is one thing I learned in all my years
Is your guarantees will be mixes of cheers and tears
You're guaranteed you'll be liked, you're guaranteed you'll be loved
You're guaranteed you'll be kicked, pushed, and shoved
You will be guaranteed a friend
You'll only need one to last to the end
You will sometimes get less than your greed
You will sometimes get more than your need
You're guaranteed to get some means of getting food
You're guaranteed to meet somebody rude
You're guaranteed to hear a lie
You're guaranteed to be successful at something you try
Lawyers, congressmen, and salesmen will plea
To trust what they will guarantee
But their guarantees will mean nothing
They won't give you what they say they'll bring
Human trust will be broken
So trust the guarantees unspoken
Your life will be divided between love and hate
But still you have a chance to control your fate

Love Advice
When love grows too fast
Even the true ones cannot last
So when you find a love that's pure
Keep it slow so it will endure
It would be worth it all in the end
To have a love that will infinitely extend

The Public World
Going out in the public
The sins of the world make me sick
The world is such a sad place to be
Looking for a better world for me
No such place does exist
But this time I must persist
With this world in such a sad way
I'll just let myself fade away
