"Taboo? Said Who..."

“Taboo? Said Who…”
March 31, 2011

Quiet, Don’t say a word
Don’t believe everything you’ve heard
Pass me the blunt
Let’s be real, don’t front

Marijuana has this misrepresentation
From this misunderstood “free” information
Don’t forget to use that common sense supply
Look where the facts are from, some people lie

Cannabis is scientifically same
For a plant with a Spanish name
It has many an alter ego
Radiating an odor wherever it may go

Mary Jane,  is safer than alcohol
Still waiting for a marijuana overdose call
But it may never come, you can’t over smoke
Unless you have asthma, anaphylaxis is no joke

Let me tell you about a neurotransmitter
That’s like a substitute teacher, or baby sitter
For the teacher of the class, or regular substance
This plant deserves a scientific reclassification conference

It is safer than the deadly alcohol
Liver disease, or maybe not that at all
Instead maybe you take some harder drugs
I’m talking the ones with the scary, shady thugs

Delta nine T – H –C
A psychoactive agonist you see
In the brain, paradoxical effect chemically correct
Backwards transmission of  a forward only effect

It causes a happy state of being
Humor in normal things you’re seeing
Best of all, you rather just sit and stare
With alcohol, you want to wander here and there

Weed, bud, ganja the herb
Go get it from the guy on the curb
Unless you’ve got a medical card
If you’re in Cali, it’s not very hard

Now that you know mary jane won’t kill
And almost every other drug potentially will
The iconic five leaf marijuana plant
Can do things modern medicine still can’t

"Beer Pong"

"Beer Pong"
March 8, 2011

Drop it down
Pick it up
Don’t you dare throw that ball
Into this bright red party cup

Bounce in, take two out
Heating up, don’t doubt
Three in, for balls back
Can I get a re-rack?

Taking three-two-one
A few throws and this game is done
Elbows back, arc in the throw
Articulate aim, these guys are pro

The last cup stands untouched and alone
The first partner has already thrown
With aim, luck and drunken grace
He throws the ball right into its place

"Men"

Just for tonight, take me away
Don’t worry, I’m not going astray
I see the way you watch me flirt
Staring, giving looks covert

Forget anything that we are
Come on, walk with me to the car
Under a full moon, I wait for a kiss
This is a moment you don’t want to miss

I don’t want to be more
So don’t ask what this is for
Tomorrow I wont mention this night
I won’t remember at tomorrow’s light

So take me with you, back to your place
Leave quiet, I don’t want to leave a trace
You’ll be a memory that’ll make me smile
Something for my “epic moment file”

But I won’t speak of what will occur
And you weren’t with me, wherever  we were
Watch me walk away at tomorrow’s sunrise
Out the door, just as you open your eyes

So take me with you, lead me by hand
You and me, tonight, I demand
Tomorrow is today, and no words were said
It’s as if, I was never even in that cozy bed

You will be left thinking of last night
Watching me leave, just out of sight
I wonder, if ever, maybe again?
But she just thinks to herself, “…men”

"Measure A Life"

“Measure A Life”
February 25, 2011

Since the beginning of this year
A few more things have been more clear
I understand the reason for some fights
And I’m embracing god-given rights

Every moment of everyday is a choice
And for too long, I ignored my own voice
But grown now, and standing set aside
I’ve pushed past the parts I wanted to hide

Parents wanting what they think is best
Children become adults just like the rest
With minds conditioned to challenge free thought
Parents in battles about things they forgot

In regards to love, it’s never fair
And a great excuse is still a dare
As age catches me by surprise
I too, see how time just flies

Each day further from childhood past
Closer to midlife, it’s getting close fast
 These new memories that I store
Makes  me beg and hope the world for more

These days now, I know are the highlight
Of a life lived and enjoyed right
Now is the time to follow your heart
Before time ages it and the world tears it apart

There’s a part of me deep down
That enjoys the beauties of a small town
And one day, I’ll go to one and live out my days
When skin wrinkles and my hair grays

 But for now, that adventurous spirit wanders still
Taking risks just for the rush of a thrill
Gazing at summer night skies, staying out late
Embarking upon the scenic route, the office can wait

Certain things in life people somehow forget
Like the joys of dancing in pouring rain, getting wet
Or seeing a rainbow stretch across clear skies
It’s enjoying the world, that makes people wise

Stop now then, to breathe the air
Smelling the scents present there
Smile at a stranger, Remember a moment treasured
It’s in these ways, life is measured

"Home Sick"

"Home Sick"
February 9, 2011

My mind is playing a clever trick
I think I might be home sick
I'm supposed to be all grown
Finally out, standing on my own

I still feel like a kid, home alone
Calling my mom on the phone
But here i am, barely an adult
Responsible for consequences of my fault

I wish I could go back, sleep in my bed
relive the high school days I used to dread
Just to be home for a little while
Back before my life was put to test and trial

Those early mornings, racing to beat the bell
and enjoying secret crushes you could never tell
The best friends always there for support
despite the strange shenanigans that would resort

The brisk summer mornings that warmed up by noon
those days came and went way too soon
On my own, off somewhere far away
At a certain age, children just can't stay

They take their life and leave the nest
Go to college, find a career, do their best
sometimes they struggle, sometimes they fall
and sometimes, children never go back at all

But the majority make visits back home
a place where their heart won't roam
For everything you wanted to become
started at the place you're from

All the memories and people back there
it's a group you know will always care
it's a safety net that you know would save
If anything where to look a little grave

Out on my own, I can't help but miss
All the people who brought me to this
though the future does hold a little fear
home sickness passes as memories are made here
