Let Me Speak
Republicans are red
Democrats are blue
They pay me no mind but I want to help you
I’m easy to grow in almost any
condition
And turned into thousands of things not
to mention
Fuel that can be used to take you up the street
Maps and contracts and documents and deeds
Even the laces that are tied to your feet.
I wish they knew all the things I could
do
Instead there’s just silence because
they don’t have a clue.
Knock knock bang thud open the door
America cant afford to be blind anymore.
I can help if they let me have a say
But ignorance is bliss in the U S of A.
I want to talk I need to speak
The fabric I make is far from weak.
Legalize me so I can be used
And the people that don’t are only fools.
God put me on this earth so I can make a change
The people against me are quite deranged.
I’M JUST A PLANT I do know harm
But yet I’m still illegal to farm.
These that think I should be band
Will fight against me all that they can.
I catch the eye of everyone around
Form city to city from town to town.
My sharp color and pretty levees
Can make the fabric of your sleeves.
LET ME SPEAK I scream and shout
But I’m just a plant that’s not cared
about.
I try to help I really do
If you heard of all benefits would you
help too?
great poem dev! the word fluency and ability to put an image into your writing makes this really good. i just wanted to know if it was to be legalized, how would we know if it is being abused or not?
ReplyDeleteif we used hemp as a resource than It couldn't be abused because its a different part of the plant that focuses more on material uses rather than medicinal uses.
DeleteI really liked the way you described how it helps people. Do you know the negative results of marijuana?
ReplyDeletethe inhalation of marijuana may cause minor breathing difficulties but no major complications have been associated with the consumption of marijuana.
