The words echoed clearly in my mind <br />Say “no” please say no please hear me plea <br />Except from my mouth didn’t come out so kind <br />The very next day I felt foggy, plenty woolly <br /> <br />Mom says great knowledge gives vast freedom <br />But she didn’t say I do not have to try it to taste <br />Sure taste of freedom is yummy without wisdom <br />Woke up wasted, memory of yesterday all erased <br /> <br />Still in my mind the echo is clear <br />Saying no doesn’t make you mean <br />It doesn’t show fear or makes you queer <br />Just simply keeps you free, nice and pristine<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mind-over-matter-2/
