Poetry 2000-..... |
This was written in response to a request from a young man who felt marijuana should be legal. I put myself in his shoes and advocated his position to a certain degree, as I was his age once. I do retain some of his feelings on this, so that helped put the poem in some debative order.

They say I have an attitude
The Pagans so disdain I emphasize their tactics Of twisting up your brain One guy did a homicide Another sold a joint To an undercover nark! Need I press this point? The media is 'their' servant But won't work for you or I We're supposed to question not The reason for the Lie Marijuana is less offensive Adults to adults can choose To relax, sit back and laugh Or suck nicotine and booze Don't you know 'their' motive? Your health and mood are shot! So you bicker with your family Dividing House and 'They' push smokes and alcohol Our anxiety pleads suppression From the inner conflicts Stemming from depression You who never smoked an herb Don't give me your debate Untainted plants were put here Before you Hypocrites of Hate My Peace Pipe calls a "checkmate" On your Bishop of Bullshit Who said you could rewrite the Book? You Judge and Hypocrite! I'd rather retain my freedom Than heed your hissing voice I think adults are old enough Their body is their choice. Ciera S. Louise c. 03/11/05 |
