Enlightenment

I've heard Enlightenment
called Nirvana
I've heard Enlightenment
called Bliss
I've heard Enlightenment
called so many things
I fear it cannot exist

A soul wise beyond its years
A soul that understands
A soul that has no fears
A soul no one commands

The greats of your time
were not enlightened
The greats of your time
were fucked up

If you could smoke
or sniff
or drink
Your way to a higher being,
Why is it only pain
That my generation is seeing

Pot, aah pot
Once my very best friend
I sat and thought more often
Of the life im to pretend

I realize now
on "Stoner Hiatus"
How completely equal
God has made us

I am not who i thought i was
I am not Enlightened
I cannot understand mankind
The way that i would like it

I once heard Enlightenment
Called Marijuana
I once heard Enlightenment
Called Pain
I've never heard Enlightenment
Compared to Hypocracy
I see now they're the same.

That's a deep idea. I agree... I too passed through the gates of maryjane... lover of marley forever I am... yet still once one gets the message one must hang up the phone...

I really enjoyed this. Believe me I can relate. But, I have to tell you that enlightenment does exist. I've tasted it...I was even sober at the time, go figure---jer

Wow. I really like this poem. The flow of it is wonderful; not too mention the idea behind it. Marijuana - the case of thinking too much and doing too little. lol. Good write. C-ya. ~ Asheai
