Best Just Say No Poems

Just say no to sunshine
Trying to penetrate your dark doom
Wrap your black cloud around its fire 
Smoother it in your tears, in your grief
In your past trauma
Feel it struggle in your stranglehold
Feel its energy released, drained,
Spent in your grasp
As happiness gasps dying
Drooping, whithering away
Should it...

Marijuana puffs
Famed hallucinatory.
Laced with excuses.

There is so strongly grained in me
some ideas like saying “no” just
saying “no” to certain propositions,
my Catholic upbringing, or upbringing
in common with inclination.  I have not
been so nice as to say no to everything,
not very nice at all, but when I do say
that’s said...

Why couldn't I see? I must've been blind. Must be deaf too because so many times, I screamed at my self but never listened. And I drug myself, thru drug addiction. I poisoned my body and poisoned my mind. And what's left to show is...

I don't think saying no is rude
If not giving up is like saying no
Then what is so wrong with saying so
If it gives a reason to wake up with smile
and makes me look up higher and higher
then I will deny again and again
Yes! I deny...

Please just say no
the way you already know
there is no quid pro quo
the process is painfully slow
your mind's altered from seeds you did sow
a withdrawl fit or two you'll throw
your brain's chasis will flitter to and fro
desiring the pleasure-pain once more to flow
you'll quake then...

NO, you will not have my child.
I will not be convinced by the rampant
hunger of government, the devourer of souls, 
needing cannon fodder.

NO, I will not stand a zombie in a trance
an unrepentant ghoul entranced, 
watching as you turn innocents 
to join with the minions...

Just Say No

Look at the embers
The smoldering remnants of a lost world
Destroyed by arrogant world leaders
Mere children fighting over their toys
Arguing over the size of their manhoods
How did they let it go so far
How could we not say that is enough
Did we believe the lies...

It will further divide the divided states of America based upon race. Resulting in our categorizing and restricting any positive and...

Yeah yeah, I know
Nancy Reagan said “Just say no”
Well if someone really wants to cope

There was a dear who had a ridge that she perched from
It was where she felt welcome 
Below there was a road 
Where cars must go. 

They would be driving in singles and pairs 
Going too fast that gave my dear many scares. 
“Go slow,...
