"Leaves of Joy"
Leaves of Greed
Self destruction;
That's all you need?

"Leaves of escape;
Sweet Harmony
A Day-Time dream
That's all I need."

You're stubborn.
You're an arrogant,
Ignorant fool.
You know,
You are killing yourself
The leaves.
The tool

Problems with Marijuana are very frequent where I live... This piece was inspired by whats going on around me and in my school between people i know, even friends, and the "leaves".
