OVERSMOKE WEED

Oversmoke weed
…and plant its seeds
And they will grow as fire to consume your roots

II
Sniff cocaine
…and stack its needs
And they will turn vampires
…to collapse your bones

III
Drink alcohol excessively
…in the drum of your heart
And they’ll overflow like waterfalls
…to drown your soul

IV
Whatever attitudinal abuse you plant
…no matter how relieving
Has its inherent evils which will grow its devils
…to chase you like weevils
So as you in that high chairs swivel
Think of the future level by level
None lives long to thank fearsome narcotics
…pumped for stokes
They all drink from the blood of their saliva
…which bite their blood to unbleed with pain
…until they gain the level of insanity and cease to be
So smoke abundance weed to hunt your soul
Sniff cocaine to poisonously powder your organs
…be an overbearing alcoholic to change your gait into a wavering flag
They are paths you surely can choose
…if you can honour their tragic influences
