The Wonders of Weed

Marijuana is a beauteous, flowering wonder.
So spectacularly high, endlessly I ponder.
A combustion of plant matter, and a chief chemical compound.
An elevation of the senses - touch, taste, sight, and sound.
And last but not least, of course there is smell.
Such bliss to my nostrils, I'm further compelled.

Every muscle is relaxed, a goofy smile upon my face.
Exploring foreign galaxies - the inner depths of outer space.

Labeled as an addict, straying from the pack.
Calling everyone I know, looking for a sack.
Not that it is needed, but it makes time more enjoyable.
Still, people have their judgements; that is unavoidable.

Not only does it get you high, there's many other benefits.
Nausea, pain, or slight depression? - Weed will cover all of it.
The burning of this sticky substance, sparks receptors in the brain
Releasing many molecules that work to help relieve the pain.

A joint, a bong, a blunt, or a pipe;
They'll all do the job, whichever you like.
Eat it, heat it, vaporize;
Insatiable hunger within you will rise.

Taking my thoughts to a whole ‘nother level;
Indulging in smoking, in reefer I revel.
Freeing of the thoughts and exploring of the mind,
Revealing to myself, the one I've longed to find.

In the midst of my euphoria, paranoia pricks my brain.
For if they find this ounce of kine, I'll be shackled, ball and chain.

Peeking out of windows, watching rear-view mirrors
I'm but a sheep, prey to the wolf - holding up his sheers;
Violating natural rights, against our constitution -
Putting us in little cages, their way of retribution.

Mere possession of an earthly substance, neither altered nor synthetic,
Could pin you as a criminal; how faulted and pathetic.
They lock you up, and shave your head, intentions crystal clear;
Policing laws, abusing power, and feeding on your fear.

Let me be the first to say, I hope to live to see the day
That marijuana's legalized, and we're no longer penalized.
A day of clearing up the fog, the twisted mess we call our law.
A day when every fear will cease - and I can smoke in fucking peace.
