Her Drug of Choice

She says she prefers weed
That its as wholesome as green trees
But if she’s a marijuana queen
Why can’t she do more than eat

Babies need their mothers
Men need their lovers
But her only desperate desire
Is to set Mary Jane on fire

Is it a gateway drug
For many it is a help
For her it’s not enough
She mooches off everyone else

Maybe her teens wasn’t a dream
And she had childhood trauma
But nearly thirty and it seems
She is the cause of today’s drama

I’m not a fan of anything 
That kills your motivation and dreams
Your drug of choice isn’t working 
Please abort and start praying

Good advice Karen. Drugs are for mugs we used to say. So many commit suicide with drugs. Hugs.

Amen. Just can't see why adults waste time on the weed -- unless they're miserable, of course.

I agree! Misery loves company I hear! Thanks for reading so many of my poems Gershon!
