The Cannabis Plant
Oh cannabis plant, how you grow so tall
With your fragrant buds, you make us enthralled
Your leaves so green, your aroma so sweet
Your benefits, so many, we cannot repeat
From medical marijuana, to creative writing
You're the source of inspiration, so inviting
You spark deep thought, and unlock the mind
A source of creativity, for all of humankind
But the United States, once saw you as a mistake
A case of drug-control bureaucracies, unable to break
The arbitrary law, that caused so much harm
A fog of dirty language, causing great alarm
Your use of marijuana, led to the terrors of arrest
A great deal of the violence, caused by the state's quest
To control the familiar stranger, that is you
And Madison Avenue, added to the misconstrue
But intelligent citizens, began to see through the veil
Agents of this bureau, began to fail
As the structure of certain pieces of jazz, began to show
The total dismantling of the whole cancerous bureaucracy, would soon grow
Love Letters to Mary Jane
Oh Mary Jane, how I adore thee
Thou art the best weed poems, to ever be
With actual experience of the smoked herb, as my guide
I can express my love for thee, with great pride
In the privacy policy, of my heart and soul
Thou art the one, that makes me whole
For thou art my familiar stranger, my constant companion
The one that helps me see the world, with a simpler line of thought, so zen
Thy use of marijuana, opens up my mind
To new ideas, and thoughts, so divine
Thou art the structure of certain pieces of jazz
A new manner of thinking, a new way to pass
The uncounted years, of love letters to thee
Have been the source of my happiness, and glee
For thou art the naked lunch, that feeds my soul
And with thee, my life will always be whole
Parkinson's Law
Parkinson's Law, states that work expands
To fill the time, that the worker demands
But with the use of medical marijuana, so grand
The fog of dirty language, no longer stands
For the arbitrary law, that once caused so much pain
Has been challenged, and the victory is gained
No longer will the terrors of arrest, cause such harm
For the structure of certain pieces of jazz, is now the norm
The agents of this bureau, have been overthrown
As intelligent citizens, have taken the throne
And the use of marijuana, no longer causes fear
For the classical music, can now be heard clear
The Great American Mistake
The great American mistake, was to ban
The use of marijuana, in every land
For the benefits, were so clear to see
From creativity, to medical use, it was meant to be
But the terror of arrest, and the violence it caused
The case of drug-control bureaucracies, so flawed
Were the result of an arbitrary law, so wrong
That the terrors of arrest, lasted so long
But now the structure of certain pieces of jazz
And the total dismantling of the whole cancerous bureaucracy, will soon pass
As the idea of a marijuana, takes hold
And the naked lunch, is no longer cold
For the use of marijuana, is now a new manner
Of thinking, and living, and no longer a banner
For the familiar stranger, that is you
Is now accepted, and no longer taboo
On the Edge
In the movie theaters and edge books,
I found my love for Mary Jane, and took a look,
At the world through a different lens,
And the wonders of marijuana use, that it sends.
But the big mistake was to criminalize,
The use of this plant, and demonize,
A medicine that could ease so much pain,
And inspire so many marijuana poems to be written and remain.
Now the stigma is slowly fading away,
As people begin to see the benefits that it may,
Bring to those who suffer and those who seek,
A different perspective, a new way to think.
So let us celebrate the edge books and movie theaters,
That helped bring to light the wonders of marijuana use,
And let us continue to fight for its freedom and use,
So that the world can benefit, and the love for Mary Jane can continue to diffuse.
