Alchohol

Ethanol
feiry draught, smooth to hit the spot.
Soporific or merry ye be, eldest of man's intoxicants
yet fashioned by God.
Aqua vitae, fermented fruit of grain
you distill the personality, seperating us
from our fleshy souls and guiding the path to oblivion.
Boatman of Lethe, drifting beyond your cares...
intent on sometime returning.

Ampetamine

Alpha- methyl-phenyl ethylamine
spark of life to rouse the eyelid.
Immortal in alertness, young pleasure of man,
neccesity to tired minds.
You are a whitened pheonix,
spreading your blaze, turning the body against itself.
Stretching limbs to each, electric neuron and reminding
that once, fear preserved our kind.

Marijuana

9 tetrahydro-cannabinol
idle and quick.
Dry cousin, lesser remedy
to the anodyne which flows from poppies.
No, you are not one of man's poisons,
non-Paracelsian.
A shaman's heady, burnt offering, hoping for ascension into
that world of spirit-dreams where peace may rest at God's feet.
