Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Weed the Winner

U.S.A. waged war on weed,

Even though Founding Fathers grew

The stuff, for what purpose indeed!

But anti weed folks did accrue.

Marijuana became outlawed,

Banned as a hazard to all health,

Impairing soul and mind and bod.

Black market sellers made great wealth,

While small users were sent to jail,

Punished severely for the crime.

The prisons filled on this same tale.

But weed won the war over time.

Legality came for the toke,

Less paranoia in the smoke.
