If you want to know just how to fry
Take a look an' see Lucy in the sky
It's enough to make you want to scream
All that blue out there, man! it's a junkie's dream
And yet I'm still heading on downhill
It's my cross to bear an' it's my blood she'll spill
An' just seems to good to be so true
I've got a stash that's higher
Even when it's down to the wire
So take this pile of cash an' spread it 'round
Let the junk squad know we're out of coffee grounds
An' you really have nothin' left to lose
When it's cut an' dried you can smoke away them blues
An' it's twenty to life if you cross the man
Safer to kill an' maim I'm sure you understand
Even when you think you've got it made
Then along comes the drug squad on another panty raid
My love for you is a dime bag of colored spots
I can chop and change by joining up all the dots
So I leave myself open to your sweet refrain
You can heat me up an' cool me down with your ice again
So take this pile of cash an' spread it 'round
Let the junk squad know we're out of coffee grounds
An' you really have nothin' left to lose
When it's cut an' dried you can smoke away them blues
An' you really have nothin' left to lose
When it's cut an' dried you can smoke away them blues

The first impact of this poem is tremendous, it's not something I would normally read. It's a very complex read, one that affects me in ways that I don't understand really. It's extremely sad to read this. It's wonderfully written kind of like a song. Thanks for entering my contest!
