My drug of choice is poetry. <br />I need no chemicals to fly. <br />Imagination is the key <br /> which leads me into fantasy. <br />I have no need to break the laws <br /> because I choose a different course. <br /> <br />I can get high on poetry. <br />A pleasure that’s completely free. <br />Why use adulterated drugs <br /> and join the ranks of ripped off mugs. <br />Why should you spend your hard earned brass? <br /> on coke or horse or even grass. <br /> <br />When all you need is poetry <br />to set your restless spirit free. <br />Rise to the sky on wings of words <br />and emulate the flight of birds. <br />Who recognise no boundaries <br /> they’re free to fly just where they please. <br /> <br />I can alter my state of mind <br /> by reading poetry I find <br />From all my worries find release <br /> and for a little time find peace <br /> and oftentimes sheer ecstasy <br />Anaesthetised by poetry. <br /> <br />21-Jan-07<br /><br />ivor .e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/altered-perception/
