This poem is more important now than ever in the fight against oppression and ignorance.
We need to fight for our rights as humans, and we all have our own ways to fight.
I wrote this poem the summer of 2017, and I received great response from friends all over the world.
Enjoy.
LEAVES OF SEVEN
By Steffen Langeland
Leaves of seven can take me to heaven and help me fly up in the sky.
Open my mind and give me a vision and help me escape my mental prison.
They call you names and make up lies and play games instead of decriminalize.
Your wonderful nectar saves our lives, you cure disease and leave us craving for fries.
There’s nothing wrong with self-medication, self-recreation and self-celebration,
but there is something wrong with big corporations who keep banning nature out of pure desperation.
They’re desperate and greedy for money and power,
but still they keep losing to this beautiful flower.
The fruits of nature is a human right, we will never back down or away from this fight.
They deny us our freedom and remove our rights, we’re not hurting anyone with our “northern lights”.
The law is so twisted and it’s time for a turn, instead of being ignorant it’s about time they learn.
In a world that is evil it’s not very odd, that the plant that is hated is sent by God.
