Joker Toker
He was just a young, 14 year old Joker Toker,
A one skin roller, full baccy heavy smoker.
Never see a man whitey, quicker than a roller-coaster,
Always coughing up, he's a real phlegm croaker.
Then tells me he's got a heavy rabbit, just on the green,
I tell him, mate, u don't what a real habit means.
And it's cruel, but he's only on his first pair of jeans.
Wait 20 years, then feel what a real rabbit means.
Trainspotting style, robbing quality tops,
Never been in a town, that your not on shop-watch.
Running from your demons, as fast as those cops,
N u aint got any means, to make it all stop.
Help don't come easy, the Tories were wet,
A Psych team, getting paid for every patient they get.
Can u hop to that green cross when ur covered in sweat?
N take a tipple u don't want, just to show ur a good bet.
Nowhere to go, coz the 3 NHS hotels, all got shut down,
Look everywhere, it's been a country wide crack down.
You'll have to pay 12 K private, come out still in meltdown,
And the only rooms are money money, n all uptown.
But don't worry son, there's always a quick way out,
Just lie in that bath, take loads of sweets n don't shout.
Make sure your so your drunk so you won't get out,
And wave goodbye to the pain, as ur brain shuts out.
It's a shame, coz u could have been in a real dream team,
Making more notes than the BOE can print, full steam.
Driving company cars, private health care, being top cream,
But your ur still using coz that life's just a pipe dream.
Wet white crumbs on a pipe made of coke cans,
And holes from the pull, covered in ash from the back of ur hand.
Standing in alleys smoking Crack as fast as u can,
Robbing n going to jail, it;s a never ending non plan.
So just stop when u take, that first ever full pull,
Your probably on ur lunch break, toking at school.
Come back laughing N giggling, coz ur just a silly fool.
But if u just said no, u cud have skipped life's cesspool.

Chuffed At Court
I went to court today,
I was taken by surprise,
The judge was smoking a spliff,
I couldn't believe my eyes!
He gave my brief a blowback,
They started talking shit.
The witness was on acid,
And freaking on a bad trip.
The prosecution asked,
Is this some kind of joke?
If it is then fuck you all,
As he got out his stash of coke.
The usher got excited,
and fell upon his back.
Lying there with a 2 ml works,
In his arm, having a hit of smack.
I asked about my punishment,
The judge couldn't give a damn.
He said "Go spend your money wisely boy",
And buy yourself a gram.

An old poem I had totally forgot about from an old website I used to have with poems from people in Prison that used to send them out to me to publish along with my own work. Was a total surprise to find this stash of old writing!
