Here's the Green Triangle Poem.
I know it fits together into a better triangle shape, maybe someone knows
how to format it so it fits correctly.
I found this on the rec.drugs.cannabis about 5 years ago
I think it was written by some activists from vermont<font color = "green">

THE GREEN TRIANGLE POEM
During Nazi rule those thought to be a threat to the
Fatherland were taken prisoner and placed in con-
centration camps. These prisoners were from many
different social and cultural backgrounds. To
distinguish between the prisoners, the Nazis
used a system of color coded cloth badges.
Jews were given yellow stars; half-Jews
were given yellow triangles; feminists
were given black triangles; Gypsies
were given brown; and gay men, pink.
The green triangle was given to
`common criminals' or those who had
been convicted of minor crimes,
including drug law violators.
At the time of Nazi rule,
a very stringent set
of anti-drug laws
was in effect --
laws that were
very similar
to those
used now
in the
U.S.
