greens

jazz musicians brought me this to smoke,
beat nicks brought me words, many i spoke,
counter culture survives through decades that choke
out the vibes and tides i ride as i tithe and bribe
my mind with a toke or two or a few into a ride
of relaxation, concentration, a life of foreignication
littered with intoxication, prognostication
became a way of life, dissecting all in my sight
of wrong and right, dark and light, love and spite
it's these greens that bring me right
round again to myself and friends in respite,
we smoke and share, we toke and care,
avoiding the glare of other drugs cuz we're there,
where we need to be, no more or less to see,
and forever we shall be
pot heads
