CANNABIS CANT

I get lost in my reveries The biscuits are all ruined Burned to a blackened crisp I keep forgetting what I’m doing. I don’t scold myself that much I have gotten used to this state. I’ve been this way ever since I discover pot was so great. Too soon stoned Too late wise. It seems like I can’t Believe my own eyes. Living in a fantasy I avoid using a knife. It can mean catastrophe When up against real life. It shuts up all the voices in me That tell me what a douche I am. It makes a wonderful movie of What used to be a lifelong scam, Where I once had not been worthy Suddenly I was a loquacious stud. Cannabis took me to the mountain And out of the ordinary mud. Too soon stoned Too late wise. It seems like I can’t Believe my own eyes. Living in a fantasy I avoid using a knife. It can mean catastrophe When up against real life. But somebody should have warned That soon it takes over your life. It makes you forget work and bills The chores and even the wife. A forty something thirteen year-old Is mostly what I have now become. Parts of what I knew as my mind Have become deaf, blind and dumb. Too soon stoned Too late wise. It seems like I can’t Believe my own eyes. Living in a fantasy I avoid using a knife. It can mean catastrophe When up against real life.
