Reverend Roger Christie
found the middle of a mystery
when his peaceful Cannabis Ministry
was was raided by the infantry
fronting for true villainy.
Helicopters flew so hard drugs grew.
What was a true minister who knew to do?
“Melt Ice” his sign read; “Aloha Asa!” he even said.
Ancient ganja is our soul’s bread.
It takes a ‘head to get ahead.
Countless wrongs upon him, Ohana, Bride & Mom.
“Drug war” liars have corralled him
with “dangerous” words,
heavy, thin,
and oozing sin.
False values have been shoved
on us from up above
from the crap we eat to Carl Rove,
a toxic stew bereft of love.
If “every herb” you do respect
you’d better learn then to protect
your most sacred fruit of intellect
in heeding reason that directs.
Reverend Peacemaker, be free
by seeing in you what i can see;
in standing for your right to be
you deliver ours, to us & me.
Quiet is the strongest truth.
A word, a thought will set it loose.
Pray honesty shines in the jurist’s heart. Aloha big in soul-felt trust of my brother’s estate
he knows the global culture did predate
palsied rusting shadows of corporate hate.
