Spoken Word: Legalize It

Sip this and sip it slowly
Release the mind and let passion know
Explore the voyage of condemned history
Of jail and prosecution before alcohol freely flowed

Lives lost, maimed, complete mayhem for control
The constant need for pleasure proves the system failed
Today next to it, challis blaze and joints will freely roll
Many a revolutionary spending time in jail

The oldest profession is still on the block fighting in fear
Ignored, but even voluntary sex for sale is not new
With law enforcement, disease and society in the rear
Still the persecuted keep pushing for a breakthrough

Forefront should be health, accessibility and need
Closed doors, open field, or behind corners it'll happen
Supply and demand ran the gauntlet, now take heed
Use education and implementation, for iron sharpens iron

Man's will is greater than any barricade a system can build
Making it illegal does not mean it's not happening
Condemnation leads to a mode where desire will be filled
If prison is the route of avoidance that's disheartening

Condemnation and criminalization does not relinquish its fit
Pleasure is acquired by someone, somewhere, somehow
Factual, time does not change its value for fun, legalize it
It's not giving in, or accepting, its for freedom so take a bow
