- As a demonstration of the pap foisted off on the
- American public as ``Drug Education'' by the failed D.A.R.E. program
- (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), I am posting these ``poems'' taken
- from the D.A.R.E. curriculum and officer's training guide
-
- Copies of the D.A.R.E. material are available if you are willing to cover
- copy and delivery costs ($26.29 in U.S.) I encourage activists and educators
- to obtain copies of these curriculums for use in arguing against this
- waste of our public resources, and danger to our free minds.

- The DARE song... lyrics by M. Wagman .... music by J. A. Tartaglia
-
- The world's a different place
- Where life's become a race
- And unlike the world of past
- Our kids grow up too fast
- `Cause what they see in store
- Is threats of bombs and war
- And that deadly game they're taught
- That happiness is bought
- So the children of today
- Have no time for child's play
- And they feel they're alone
- Even strangers in their home
- So to hide their pain and tears
- They destroy their youthful years
- Giving up love and hugs
- And escaping into drugs
- And if we say we won't help
- Because the problem isn't mine
- Then it's more than just a shame
- Our lack of caring is a crime ... so
-
- {chorus}
- Dare to keep a kid off drugs
- Dare to keep a kid off dope
- Dare to give a kid some help
- Dare to give a kid some hope
- Help us
-
-
- Another DARE song
-
- Today, while we're still young
- Before we know the score
- We're caught up in a battle
- We're victims of a war
-
- Life gets so confusing
- Can't tell heroes from the thugs
- When our musicians and physicians
- And our atheletes fall to drugs
-
- The choices that we have to make
- Aren't what our parents had
- Not like TV, life's hard to tell
- The good guys from the bad
-
- Starting now let's take a stand
- And help each other out
- Let's learn the ways of saying "no"
- That's what D.A.R.E.'s about
-
- We dare ... to keep off drugs
- We dare ... to just say "no"
-
- We dare to make this pledge
- And let our minds and bodies grow
-
- Wanna sneak some beer? (kids) Just stand clear!
-
- Wanna smoke some dope? (kids) Just say "nope"
-
- Wanna take a hit? (kids) No thanks, I gotta split
-
- DARE tells us so
-
- It's our right to say "no"
-
- Wanna try some crack? (kids) no way Jack!
-
- Got some uppers you might like... (kids) take a hike!
-
- Do you wanna get high? (kids) walk on by!
-
- DARE tells us so.
-
- It's our right to say "no"
-
- Wanna pop a lude? (kids) No Way, Dude!
-
- Wanna snort a line? (kids) no thanks, I'm fine!
-
- PCP will thrill you (kids) man that stuff can kill you!
-
- DARE tells us so
- It's our right to say "no"
