Cigarettes are Disgusting

Don’t know why I ever got started.

Some misguided peer pressure

I suppose.

Blame it on Uncle Sam.

Blame it on weakness.

Blatant stupidity slurped up the nose.

 

Took me a few years of

Sucking on stupid sticks to

Reach the roof of

Reality’s realm.

Thankful to quit before

Throes of addiction

Shackled my will

Until overwhelmed.

 

You see,

I’ve lived long enough

I can make the rebuff to

Any case one might present.

I’ve seen what it does

To the ones that I love

In the final days of their lament.

 

One thing for certain

On that final curtain

(And in this you can place all your trust.)

Regrets will consume,

Inundating the room

And end your days filled with disgust.
