The Weed Poem

Marijuana is a herb or a weed,

That God himself grew from a tiny seed.

If you've been around it you've probably seen,

It really doesn't make any one mean.

It doesn't make you lie, kill or steal,

Sometimes it can even help you heal.

So why isn't it legal for you and me?

Because of Officials that don't want to see,

That weed doesn't make you crash up your car,

Though it may make you wish on a star.

That weed doesn't make you start a huge fight;

Though it may make you laugh most the night.

And weed won't make your lungs a big mess,

So come on everyone , give it up, let's confess,

And help Congressman Frank legalize pot!

He just wants our help, that's not a lot!

Let's talk about it now to everyone,

And maybe 1 day we can toke it in the sun.

Author is me!

In response to assignment: Time to legalize pot?
