AN OPINION

© 1998 by Lydia Glider-Shelley
Verse 1:
Cultivation for home use
Does not constitute abuse
No man has the right to stop
The growing of a useful crop

It’s a freedom thing I do declare
All of which we must compare
With the rising tide in crime and hate
To the growing power of the State

Chorus:
They tell us what to do
They tell us who is who
They tell us what is true
They tell us nothing new

Verse 2:
It’s a lie these days in so many ways
How we’re led to think that we’re on the brink
When the truth is, that we’re falling off
Into an even deeper trough

The drug war is such a joke
Congress needs to take a toke
And evaluate the smoke
And why the government’s flat broke.

(repeat chorus)
