ONE FOR THE ROAD
One
day you will get to take a trip with me!
One
trip you will never forget!
For
this trip that I will take you on!
Are
only from words that are given for you to trip!
It
will not be the Pot that will get you high!
Nor
the crack that you will smoke!
Nor
will it be the crystal up your nose!
Nor
will be the heroin in a needle nose!
For
these things are the things that are outlawed,
So
are my words!
For
what I do is speak about their illegal drugs,
That
they want to keep it the worst!
So
as the War on Drugs kill people each day,
Their
trip is only on the streets!
Where
their illegal drugs are being sold,
While
the humans die on the streets!
For
as each day their illegal drugs that are sold,
Your
children will only be sold each day!
To
the ones that afford a child,
While
crime gets bigger each day!
But
the War on Drugs is only the beginning,
Of
what is to become!
For
more children will only die on the streets,
While
the illegal drugs are sold to them!
But
as each day does get worse,
The
more children will die on the streets!
And
the more you will want to get illegal drugs legal,
So
that they will never be allowed to be sold on the streets!
But
as your governments are willing to stay evil,
While
your children will only die one day!
From
the War on the Drugs that were given,
To
keep the criminals rich each day!
But
if the governments were to sell the illegal drugs,
Then
the crimes on the streets will only go away!
Into
the arms of the innocent victims,
Who
only what to stay high each day!
But
as the War on Drugs is only a losing battle,
To
kill more children on the streets!
We
only know that the trip that we are given on,
Was
only to trip over the dead when we sleep!
For
each time that I do go to bed,
I
have to go on a trip before I sleep!
And
the higher I get in life,
The
more I am able to sleep!
But
since the Marijuana is illegal,
And
once the alcohol too!
For
the oil companies only want to get richer,
While
alcohol was not being sold to you!
For
our cars could be running on alcohol,
Or
even on Hemp instead!
But
the trip that you have been given to trip on,
One
day you will only end up dead!
And
a dead man came from a penniless man,
Who
only gave his money away!
To
the oil companies who are only getting richer,
While
the poor are dying each day!
For
as the oil prices go higher,
So
will the food prices to keep us alive!
But
as the fools try to stay sober,
They
will only believe in their lies!
But
if I could take you on a trip,
One
that you will never come down!
You
will see that the World that you are living on,
Is
spinning around and around!
But
one day it will stop spinning,
For
all of the oil will be taken out of the ground!
For
once the World is empty,
It
just like a car,
It
will never keep going around!
But
as the fools keep filling up their vehicles,
One
day there will be no more oil left!
And
the fools will have killed the World,
While
you have given to us our death!
So
next time you plan on going on a trip,
Remember
my words that I have sent you to trip!
For
you need one for the road for you to get around,
I
hope it will not be the oil to kill our World with…. 9:11:PM 1/19/11

As Mexico drowns in drug related bloodshed - suffering almost 12,000 murders in 2010 - it is perhaps unsurprising that government critics turn up their screaming that the war on drugs isn't working. But it was a bit of a bombshell when former president Vicente Fox added his voice to the chorus. The cowboy-boot wearing leader, who ruled Mexico from 2000 to 2006, had once declared the "mother of all battles" against crime and rounded up drug kingpins. But before he left office, he had witnessed the first big spike in violence as the narcos retaliated. In August of 2010, evidence surfaced that his vision had changed when he wrote on his blog that prohibition wasn't working. Now, in a recent interview with TIME in his hometown in Central Mexico, he explains that his views have moved on to the other end of the spectrum: favoring full-on legalization of production, transit and selling of prohibited drugs. Fox is most explicit about marijuana, but argues that the principle applied to all illegal drugs.
"Prohibition didn't work in the Garden of Eden. Adam ate the apple," says Fox, 68, looking relaxed in a polo shirt - in contrast to his stressful last days in office. "We have to take all the production chain out of the hands of criminals and into the hands of producers - so there are farmers that produce marijuana and manufacturers that process it and distributors that distribute it, and shops that sell it... I don't want to say that legalizing means that drugs are good. They are not good but bad for your health and you shouldn't take them. But ultimately, this responsibility is with citizens."
Such steps would go beyond policies pursued anywhere in the world. While nations including Portugal, Holland and Mexico itself have decriminalized personal possession of many narcotics, traffic and the billions of drug dollars remain firmly in the hands of criminal gangs. Governments have been held back from going the distance to legalize and regulate the trade by rigid United Nations treaties, which oblige all signatories to combat trafficking. However, Fox argues that nations should not wait for the whole world, but plow ahead with reform. (See how California's pot propostion agitated Latin America.)
"It is not necessary that there is a global change," he says. "Always, in every human action there are leaders. There are people that go ahead, that see problems before the rest, that take decisions before the rest." As an example, he goes on, California Prop 19 to legalize cannabis would have been a gigantic step forward. (Prop 19 missed being passed in November, with 46.5% in favor and 53.5% against.) "It is a shame that the proposal to legalize did not prosper," Fox says. "It would have been a great thing, a benefit to California, the United States and for Mexico. It would have been a first step." Mexican cartels make billions exporting marijuana to the United States, as well as trafficking cocaine, heroin and crystal meth.
Fox is the latest of a series of former Latin American presidents to question the war on drugs. In 2009, former Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, former Colombian president Cesar Gayvina (who oversaw the killing of cocaine cowboy Pablo Escobar) and former Brazilian head Fernando Cardoso all released a statement saying the war on drugs has failed. However, typical of the drug debate, the politicians have all made such statements upon leaving office, with drug legalization long seen as a toxic vote loser. Fox argues that his position has changed because the situation itself has changed and prohibition has now become far more costly for Mexico.
"Every idea has its time," Fox says. "When I was in government, things were not as bad as they are now. There is a growing cost in not resolving this problem, in not finding a form of truce, a way to avoid the brutal violence that is hurting Mexico. The cost is growing exponentially... I see important businessmen leaving and going to San Antonio, Houston, Dallas. We are losing in many things: tourism is stagnant, trade on the border, night clubs, hotels are all stuck. We don't deserve to pay this price."
Fox's position has put him at loggerheads with Mexico's current President, Felipe CalderÓn, who is firmly against drug legalization. In response to Fox's complaint that the war isn't working, CalderÓn has accused former Mexican presidents for not taking on the drug gangs during their terms in ofice and letting the organizations grow into a monsters. Fox himself is criticized for the 2001 prison escape of trafficker Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman who has since become the most high profile drug lord in Mexico.
Asked about the notorious break out, Fox conceded it was a serious setback but argued it was not emblematic of his administration. "One swallow does not make a summer. It is an important case but it is not the hallmark of my government." The Fox era also saw major drug traffic seizures, arrests of 74,000 suspects on drug charges and major extraditions to the United States.
Under CalderÓn, Mexican forces have made even more arrests, bigger seizures and record extraditions - winning praise and $1.4 billion in support from the United States. But each kingpin that goes down only appears to provoke more bloodshed, as lieutenants war with each other to take over turfs. In total, there have been more than 30,000 drug related killings in the four years since CalderÓn took office, compared to some 7,000 in the last four years of Fox. Such relentless murder, Fox argues, shows that drug war cannot be won through strength of arms.
"I believe that violence against violence doesn't work. It only unleashes more violence and a conflict of the size we have in Mexico," Fox says. "And it is not only in people's income, in investment, but also in the collective psychology. There is fear in the country. And when you have an environment where there is no harmony, no peace and tranquility then no human being can make the best of themselves."
