National Weed Day is a Government Conspiracy by Z. T. Fairfax

National Weed Day is a Government Conspiracy

420, a tragedy no one remembers
quacking up while ducks mourn
Big Soap made it out on top
Easier to swallow Dawn than the irony
Digital feet generated on the web
Poison the water you helped clean
I hope that chick on the bottle gets royalties
Kids can’t recognize beyond petroleum
They’re just ducks, right?
Nobody cries over your spilled milk
Ancient history, forgettable dark suffocation
Gaggle on the smoke when you
light up this holiday season
Joint together in remembering the fallen
Replacing real actors, maximize profit
Ultra! Removes grease on contact
and the memory of 600,000
