The Secret of Old Man Ganja

I was searching through all my old posts (incredibly entertaining thing to do) and I stumbled upon this poem I wrote a few years back. Enjoy.



---The Secret of Old Man Ganja---


In a valley deep and green with life
With people clearly blessed
Lived a ripe old man
Who grew some herb that many called, â??the best.â?�

He lived by the forest in a rotting shack
Near a creek so swift from rain
And by the creek the old man grew
Special plants to help ease pain.

The people of the valley
Depressed from lack of sun
Devised a plan to reduce their stress
And potentially have some fun.

They called upon the ripe old man
To share his wealth of weed
But he refused to help and turned away
And continued to plant his seed

More folks came to beg the man,
To offer a helping hand,
But he simply laughed when the beggars claimed
â??Youâ??ve got the best herb in the land.â?�

And that he knew, and that he used
As his reason to keep all his crop
For he had no doubts that he grew the best
From river to mountaintop

Some would say the old man was greedy
But others would say he was not
Because feeding the likes of an entire village
Requires thousands of bags of pot

But as the begging slowly ceased
The old man began to feel
That because his herb was so mighty
He may begin to deal

So he put up signs around the valley
To advertise his crop
And within several hours, a party began
That took many years to stop


The stress left the valley
As the ganja was spread
And for weeks no one knew
That the old man was dead

When the news hit the village
The people didnâ??t care
For the old manâ??s ganja
Was growing everywhere

A funeral was held
For a man whose life was done
But instead of a mob of people
The funeral held just one

By the corpse there stood a curious young boy
By the name of Christopher Tate
He decided it best to bury the man
By his isolated forest estate

After covering the old man in the richest of kinds
Of premium earth made soil
Christopher ventured inside the old shack
To find any secrets he could spoil

On the wall of the shack posed a framed piece of art
Filled with designs quite obscure and abstract
And the young fellow noticed that despite standing straight,
It was held by merely a tack

He touched the painting- felt its wide, thick strokes
And the frame began to drop
It fell to the ground, revealing the words
â??Hereâ??s the stash that never stops.â?�

Beneath the writing was a hole in the wall
And with little left to do
The young boy sauntered forward
And anxiously peered through

He turned his head and looked away,
Convinced it was not real
But when the boy looked again through the hole in the wall
The same thing was revealed

His mind exploded from disbelief
As a world appeared before his eyes:
The air was clear, the clouds were green
And cannabis stalks reached the skies

thats funny as fuck :smokin:

lol it could be a children's book or something

That was awesome.

Man that was really good.
