Men’s Choices

He smoked a joint
Ever since I remembered
My uncle non-violent
His soul lost to addiction
Long ago
Surrendered

He nursed from the bottle
Ever since I remembered
My uncle violently verbal
His life lost on a corner
Long ago
Surrendered

He worshiped a white pipe*
Ever since I remembered
My uncle a-laughing
His life lost gradually
Long ago
Surrendered

The white pipe (Mandrax tablets finely crushed and mixed or sprinkled into a broken-off bottleneck or pipe and smoked) is not unique to South Africa , but is also found in Canada . http://www.blaauwberg.net/cic/articles/drugs/dagga_mandrax.asp
