Leaves of Illusion

They see flying elephants in the air;
some sighting of the living dead are reported too.

The world has became a slave; leaves with no weaponry
army, or conscience, have tied even the strongest of men. The world
now is akin to the dark ages, where the name "death" was crawling
on the lips of almost everyone.

Spirituality has become hard to understand, just like grasping rocket science;
walking on the streets in nakedness has become a usual thing...... Man's future
is hanging on the balance. Thanks to people who legalized marijuana throughout
the world.

gosh , this was about marijuana!!! I was thinking it was going to lead to many other things like corruption, even cell phone usage, which I see as something that has really alienated the world, everyone living in their own little cell phone world. anyway, I get it now. the first part is much like a creedance clearwater song I once heard. I think they were singing of drunks!! sure enjoyed this one.(though I am not so sure it is all as bad as you say. I would kind of like to try it!!)

Hahaha..... You have made my day Andrea! :-0 Yes, I guess this poem can suit drunks too....!! Please don't dry taking weed, it might make your poetic words to doodle around your thoughts. You can inbox me the creedance clearwater song. It seems fun listening to it. ^_^
