I Am a Thing
My name, to some, is mary jane
I think it a shame
to even play this game
with me, as I have so many names-
I must proclaim
it is my aim
to assist in it's fame
To gain much acclaim.
There should be no law
As there is no flaw
Of this natural painkiller
I stand in awe -
Born straight from earth
without withdraw
one can smoke and enjoy -
Even Ma and Pa.
Oxycontin, vicodin, morphine
All these will make you a dope fiend
But not the good ol' green
Won't even make you mean
No passing of addictive genes
To put into light
and help this fight
Focus on this sight-
First used as medicine by the Chinese in
2737 B.C.
Ever heard of alcoholic DT's?
Bud doesn't have these.
Overdose on methamphetamines?
Can't OD on BC Green.
How can the Gov' legalize all the above,
When evidence and stats show
I don't contain all the woe
that all this other synthetic crap does?
What am I?
