Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Marijuana

Marijuana



Drug tests,
loss of employment,
Jail sentences.....
and even execution !

Medical issues,
and I get legalised,
Killing symptoms.....
of cancer and HIV !

I am marijuana !

Recreation 
forget about,
That's illegal !

Killing of pain,
gain in disease,
Well that's legal !





Written November 29th, 2014
For Debbie Guzzi's contest 'Global poetry'
Theme-the legal use of marijuana


Awarded 5th place

Demetrios Trifiatis November 30, 2014 at 5:55 AM A fine poem tangling so many issues in a masterful way. I just wish to add that whatever is legal it doesn't necessarily mean it is moral! Thank you for sharing Dr. Upma. A seven!
