Why Is God's Bounty Illegal?

Why are they in jail? Shackled by steel chains They remain in cells Days on end Sharing space with rapists And those who take the lives of others They hurt no one They merely wanted to live their lives To share a gift from God A gift used for a thousand generations Found growing wild on a country hillside A five pointed leaf A gift from God to relive their pain “Wiser” men said that it was evil They decided that God was wrong They said that God’s bounty would destroy us all Sitting in their cells Cancer running rampant through their bodies One thought runs through their mind Why should God’s gift God’s own bounty be illegal
