this sounds really weird if i don't read it out loud. whatever.
My friend Tom got expelled for smoking pot twice.
Illegalities filled the court when he went on trial, and now he’s going to be miles away. He has to transfer somewhere not-so-good because the world doesn’t accept stoners as they should. It shouldn’t be a crime to inhale a plant. When I try to make sense of it, I just can’t. God allowed us to bask in the treasures of his land, but getting high off marijuana now has to be a scam. We all do it, but we’re sneaky, most of us don’t get caught, and our friends that did don’t have a shot. But Tom was probably more in touch with the world than any cops would be. When they confiscated his weed, I’m sure they had a party. They had to make their quota; what new teenage life will they interrupt just because some of us don’t have good luck? He saw threatening lights, heard a cop approach. When asked, “What’s in your mouth?” Tom swallowed his pride, and said “A roach.” Tom’s future is at a halt, and I am in disgust that rapists walk along free, taking advantage of us. Pass us every day on our very own campus, and Tom gets expelled for lighting up nature’s cannabis. Isn’t there something terribly wrong with this?
In the suite down the road someone smashed a bottle over someone’s head. “You’re let go with a warning,” is what the cop said. Then the girl at the frat party just had her baby aborted, because minimal% of rapes at New Paltz ever get reported. They’re all walking free because the dean didn’t evict them, but my good friend Tom smoked pot, and he fell victim.
If no one understands why this upsets me so much, maybe it’s because everyone is out of touch with the world today that we like to think is fair, but I just don’t understand the bullshit out there. If you think it is a crime to just light up a dime then go join this “democracy,” or should I say, hypocrisy, because our government’s heart is clouded with this lie, because they know the reasons why we all get high. We escape the world that we encounter everyday just to be ashamed of our innocent play. It seems America’s love for teen embarrassment stops at the point of assault and harassment, because they don’t want to deal with the larger scheme, and now I’ll have trouble living the American dream because I know that my children won’t be safe from Iraq when they aren’t even our biggest threat for attack. But I surrender now, so when you drop another bomb, the protest in New Paltz won’t be the same without my friend Tom.
