Mile-High State of Mind

It’s really quite ironic, the debate
Ensuing in the comments of the piece
Declaring to the citizens release
Of all their hidden cannabis.  The fate
Of all remaining citizens is now
In danger, or is awesome – it depends
On whom is being read; and so it tends
To wild, stupid excesses, and how
Morality is dead, or how it’s not.
I’m certain now that human beings are dumb.
We argue over pot, to make us numb,
Or gun control, and after we have fought,
We fail to see the argument’s the same,
A choice between euphoria or shame.

(It’s likely that it’s neither, but in name.)
