Analysis of Don't Crack

Amy Dunn 1966 (Pasadena)



With a little glass pipe, some ashes and a lighter.  It's just one toke that will take you higher.

Higher and higher and higher you'll fly, to reach what they call, "the ultimate high."

Your head is high your lungs are clear, your thoughts are fast and your dreams seem near.

You jump and play or you hide and pout.  It's the real answers you do without.

You sit feel a new low tide, an empty soul with no drive inside.

Soon your smile fade away, anticipating the next payday.

Your wallet is empty, it's laying on the ground.  Your looking for more money, but there's non to be found.

You look to the sky and ask the "Lady Moon", pleading with her to bring more soon!!!

THIS STORY TELLS THE TRUTH, NO DOUBT.  
TO DO WITH IS TO DO WITHOUT.

SO DON'T CRACK
