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.

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.
