Be Nice
4/21/22
"
Greed I see and spy it
No need for me to hide it
What I seek, still can't find it
If I'm curious about it, I'll try it
If I want it, I'll buy it
There's no need to deny it
THC I always light it
I'm always the drunkest and the highest
I've been
Blinded
And misguided
Yet still one of the nicest
It's not always two-sided
Maybe, I've been a fool, and slighted
In areas that are blighted
Corruptions lingers on, little if any wrongs being righted
The path no longer clear or lighted
Endlessly people remain divided
Despite it
Does no good if I quit
Why b****
And always feel some type of way by it
Always sensed a slight shift
As soon as night hit
Like a firework leaving the sky lit
In ultraviolet
They put out the bait, but I don't bite it
Many couldn't resist or fight it
At times in order to survive it
Was a close call and tight fit
Believe me, you'll just get swept out with the tide if
You try s***
It all could impact the climate
Can't just stay quiet
Always making a scene, causing a riot
Then quickly turning violent
You either do or don't mind it
I stay silent
It all used to make me quite sick
But now it just gets brushed aside quick
Like a flip of the light switch
Still got the touch like Midas
Yet going through a crisis
If I slip
Then I'll be lifeless
It's just the prices
Of having dangerous vices
When it all no longer suffices
Trust me life is
Full of surprises
Still so caught up on devices
Yet never making sacrifices
No wonder opportunity rarely arises
