Poet..... Say No To Drugs

in #poet6 years ago

I'm the lady in the white dress
My true identity you may guess
My innards reveal guilty leaves
Concealed by innocent white papers
I send you to the sky
You feel like the most high
I'm a shiny sepulcher
I bear death in my pouch
Men consult me for comfort
To make their wilting souls come forth
They put fire to my tail
As they recount life's tale
But with each puff
They give life off
One joy for a legion sorrows
One life, a million deaths
A little piece of me for peace
Oblivious it's leap into abyss
Enchanted by my charm
I'm so good, I bring you harm
I take away pain
Momentarily - so you get no gain
Rather, I wielded the knife
I take your life
I am MARIJUANA
Friends call me Drugs
Some others smoke
🚭

Hi, I really liked your poem. When I started reading it, didn't know what to expect. Until I got to the end...it was a surprise for me and then, it all made sense. Nice tight poem.

Thanks. That's the suspense in it, more to come
