Altered State of Mind

altered state of mind take a puff A puff from the hookah pipe Gives a trip of a different type. while you're on the ground your thoughts are floating around take a puff A puff from the hookah pipe Gives a trip of a different type. © 6 months ago, Bonnie J Hollywood-Cutts the poem above won silver. but my thought was stunted with the few words I could write. so I expanded that thought in this one below Continuing the thought taking a trip outside this world Inhaling deep from the hookah pipe Takes the mind to a different plane People go crazy with all that hype For with this thing you feel no pain Though the body is heavy in weight Your mind feels lighter and lucid The troubles of the world quickly dissipate Breaking free as if they were fluid The world thinks this thing is bad That nothing good comes from its use Those tightwads think it's a fad Something we outgrow, if we choose In the mysterious Wonderland, Alice found out. it's opposite. down became up and up became down Loud became quiet, a whisper became a shout. A perplexing endless trip in the crazy hidden town.
