Derrick Hubert Schnabel - Ode to the Weed

ode to the weed

laminated death seen through a weed-haze
a joint committee puffing wisdom
musing on their halcyon days
when their limitless freedom
gave them isolation
fear in quarantine
drugged elation
in between
being
one
seeing
what has been
contemplation
a reckless routine
and pleasant sensation
beyond their sheltered kingdom
the thirteenth disciple betrays
the promise of herb-inspired custom
death after all rules the end of their days
