Wait! What Is That Smell?

Funny how we speak with two tongues How we sing two tunes to the same song We claim that all things God made are good Yet, we condemn when they're not understood Marijuana, the herb is not of itself, bad It is man’s greed and indiscipline that is sad I bet, the corporate drug lords will now lobby the hill In the rush to enlarge their bank accounts, still Soon the old, sick and depressed in some states Will have to pay triple! Yes, that is their fate There has to be more research, new laws on the books To cut off the street gangs, pushers and such folks Make a difference in the crime rate, clean up the streets If buying cigarette with carcinogens is legal Makes no sense, for all the fuss, let’s be real Left as is, soon more twelve year olds will sell! Did you say, ‘Not in my hood?! Wait! What's that smell?!
