Potland is going to pot in 2018
Marijuana will be legalized
in the dope scene
The dopes and dopey will
celebrate as they puff and smoke
The potheads will be happy as
they share a toke
The political dopes will tax
it, as they are addicted to money
And the ruling dopes that
will legalize it--Are they really crummy?
Potland already has a big
drug problem because of drugs like Fentanyl
Do the political dopes not
realize that all kinds of drugs can kill?
Potland is not immune to
dangerous drugs--they are used in “mercy killings”
Just sign your name to be
medically murdered, and meet those that are willing
As long as you have an
identity, and are perhaps not a Him or Her
You will be given your due
“respect” if you are addressed as Ze or Zir
Potland is a land where
gender can be not a man or a woman
If you get high on pot, you
will know that I am not fooling
This is a land just like
“Animal Farm” where human animals rule
A land where all is “sunny,”
and anyone can play the fool
Most of the media in Potland
find all this acceptable
Saner people with ethics
would surely call it diabolical
But
this is Potland, a place that appears bereft of principles and ethics
A
place where some even question the truth of gender and its specifics
If you come and visit this
strange place called Potland
You will see some people
marching naked; some think that this obscenity is grand
The marchers are led by
politicians, but these “emperors” wear their clothes
They are Potland’s “emperors,”
trying to smell like a beautiful rose
This then is Potland where
every day is like a big fertilized garden
Of course some weed abounds
(did I make a pun?) Oh, I beg your pardon
Still, if you think this
rhyme is silly and full of too much rot
Come visit and see for
yourself, as Potland goes to Pot

the next”
