I've never written a poem before but last night I was 10 bowls in and suddenly felt like writing... What came out was this poem to people who are close minded about marijuana (like my parents) because they haven't experienced it and listen to propaganda. (It's a work in progress but let me know what you think) (Untitled so far) Simple minds, trapped in a box of potential wasted Minds are great just like a turkey basted But the oven is a box that a turkey gets placed in A turkey over cooked is fine till its tasted Let's face it, a turkey burnt is nothing but ruined Cook your mind too long and it's nothing but fluid Escape from the box and open ur mind Allow yourself to express what you might possibly find Because you live in the darkness of your miserable mind Searching for happiness but stress is all you find Come out of that box and see the light Doesn't matter who you are, you will be set right Simple minds, set to run like engines Based off lies told with good intentions Drugs are bad, yes, this is true But see there's a difference between me and you I see a plant and you should too It's one of Gods gifts to me and to you It grows in the ground, the dirt and the dust Only to be ruined be bureaucratic lust They've taken a gift and made an abomination An entire nation replacin' this small gift that's amazing Cancer patients just waitin' and hatin' The anguish they feel from the meds they've been takin' A green plant, beautiful flower, like a miniature tree Don't tell me you agree, those patients should be locked up, for weed Murderers, rapists, thieves and thugs Most in there cuz they got addicted to drugs Not plants, no, there is no addiction Only relief, happiness, and hope for those in remission Inner peace, happiness, tranquility found Your whole world opened up, all new sights and new sounds Life becomes clear your mind's box is now gone You can step out of your stress, to infinity, and beyond Concepts become known and the barrier lifted Set your mind free, it's no longer restricted The sky's the limit, you're just glad you're so gifted Take a second don't miss it, all these things the've existed Your own senses get lifted Reveal to you a world no longer conflicted Clear is the word to describe what you're feeling Every moment and atom becoming appealing Step out from the lies that you've already heard Have you ever been high and heard the sound of a bird A majestic tweet, bold and proud Sound echoes in waves through trees so loud In natures choir every voice is allowed Live in the moment or it's gone in the commotion and cloud You don't need to experience it but don't judge me I'm proud Weed didn't change me, it made me I'm open minded and won't regret it once I'm dead
