A Smokers Lament

by Alice Connell   Dec 4, 2008


Tar clogs up your alveoli
Nicotine cravings wake you all nigh'
Carbon monoxide affects the blood
Passive smoking in the hood

Circulatory,Nervous, Heart and brain,
Yellow Fingers, Yellow Stain

You're Breathing Hard,
You're short of Breath,
The cancers spreading
You're close to death.

Oxygen's short
in your blood,
Thanks to smoking
you're gone.
For good...
