Cigarette cigarette burning bright
Ashes dark and tip alight
Standing tall tilting slight
Burning away into the night.
An obsession a favorite a kill joy
A poison a weapon a toy
Good for the man but bad for the boy
Silent and smoky flashy and coy.
Unheeding the danger sign
People taste the divinity thine
They say less is fine
Less and more is but a thin line.
Cough cough choke choke
Lungs afire heart broke
Still a charm under the cloak
Precious life up in smoke.
Clouding the sense
Releasing the tense
In public an offense
So in private as a defense.
Corroding lives of the yearners
Claiming away the earners
Lighted by matches lighters and burners
Slow death for all a burden upon mourners.
Cigarette cigarette burning bright
Why don’t people see the light
And put away the aflame fright
To live longer and live light.
