Works

By Rev. Roger Christie

Welcome to my poetry
it gets inside my brain
I want to show some more of me
and hope something you’ll gain.

This is one way to frame my thoughts
I’m sharing what is true
it’s free to have a look around
I trust it’s fun for you.

Some say that pot’s the devil’s weed
I’ll bet that God’s offended
we know that it’s a basic need
and He’s to be commended!

The ‘burning bush’ was very clear
for Moses in his sandals
but Rabbis, Popes and Preachers now
treat holy herb like vandals.

Almost a year locked in this place
outside the sky is blue
I wonder how to win this case
and what would Jesus do?

He’s not around to speak his mind
we’ll have to make a guess
if we just followed his best words
we’d soon clean-up this mess.

The First Amendment’s our defense
I thought that it would fly
the only way the feds can win
is keeping-up the lie.

They say it has no medicine
that they can really see
but sixteen states have legalized
it’s clear to you and me.

Big pharma wants the only piece
of hemp’s BIG luscious pie
they say the plant is of no use
so cut it down and die.

Behind the scenes they’re working hard
like busy bees make honey
we all know what they will find’s
worth ton$ and ton$ of money!

Who has to ‘get it’ for a change
to happen on this Earth?
billions of hungry people
are anxious for the birth.

Yet every night I hear the news
the dollar keeps on falling
politicians everywhere
are really good at stalling.

Pretending they can’t see this herb
martini firm in hand
while bankrupsies and foreclosures
sweep across the land.

Remember in the ’80’s
before the crackdown came?
cash-flow was really flowin’
this state was in the game.

Crime was so much lower
smiles were everywhere
even all the welfare Moms
hardly had a care.

But “Operation Wipeout”
lived up to its name
it wiped-out the pakaloha
we can prove it was to blame.

Eradication of the herb
caused meth to take its root
but vested interests like the cops
say that the point is moot.

The only study ever done
to ask what caused meth’s troubles
was soon suppressed, I wonder why
and then the troubles doubled!

Making war against our people
the Constitution calls it ‘treason’
the drug war is exactly that
it runs on all false reason.

Politicians have it made
in no reporter’s spotlight
they both feed on the charade
even tho’ it’s not right.

All pot people in this world
know hemp is sacrament
and together we all wonder
where our freedoms went.

More important is to know
just how we get ’em back
because the herb we want to grow
to get ourselves on track.

Green, green ‘gold’ is better than
the kind inside the ground
can harvest every 90 days
a ‘goldmine’ you have found!

Imagine all the wealth to be
around the world this year
if only we could stand our ground
the hemp would reappear!

It’s a natural commodity
history makes it clear
hemp fueled the Revolution
we need a peaceful one this year!

Yes, this strange and windy road
is what I kinda hoped for
but I have been super-surprised
it’s given me so much more.

I followed spirit and my heart
to bring me what is new
adventure, romance, politics
all on the ‘isle of view’.

Life’s not at all just what I think
it’s what I feel and find
I know that I have had it great
it really was ‘da kine’.

Now I sit and wonder why
this detour is my path
as I look o-ver my life
I must re-do the math.

I am convinced that I have found
a way to conquer hate
I like to say for any bummer
Oh my, “God, that’s GREAT!”

It makes me smile and feel I can
avoid the beaten road
to find my way upon this Earth
and lighten-up my load.

Now I have a newer way
to redeem all of my faults
it proves that gold is really more
than just what’s in the vaults.

I confess to all that’s bad
forgiveness is the grace
when gratitude and love is had
we then can win our race.

No one did I cheat or steal
or shoot or lie or rob
I am convinced now even more
it was an ‘inside job’.

Yes, ‘they’ say I broke the law
that got me on this ride
but living like I had it made
my fall was caused by ‘pride’.

I organized the ministry
it really was superb
we helped much more than you could see
with T L C and herb.

I did my best to follow bliss
smoked pot and smiled a lot
but I was loose and having fun
and this is what I got.

Now I sit here in this pen
just thinking what to do
and at this point this is the time
I get to think of you.

Like all the movies I have seen
with heroes round the world
I simply want right now to save
the world and get the girl.

I’ve gotta stop with all the words
they’re flowing out my brain
I’m typing fast as I can think
it’s coming down like rain.

Holy moly, stop me now!
I’m sure you’ve gotta go
there’s other things we’ve both to do
let’s get-on with the show.

I tried to STOP, it’s hard to do
our minds need time to mend
come-on now put on the brakes
this poem has got to end!

It wasn’t then, although I tried
to hit the key and SEND it
I’m sittin’ here and ready now
it’s really time to end it.

First roll a joint and pass it on
like hippies did before
we all can learn a lot from them
“make love and don’t make war”!

After all these lines of rhyme
and all the things I see
the most important of them all
the future’s up to … me.

Much love and respect to everyone,

Roger Christie, Founder
