Take a drag,

Breathe it in.

The poison sets,

And you won't win.

You might be high,

But your future's low.

Sensation's quick,

But death comes slow.

Another light,

And darkness unfolds.

A midlife crisis,

And your world becomes cold.

A foolish release,

Repeated mind games.

The brands might be different,

But effects are the same.

Take a drag,

Breathe it out.

A little stick of dynamite,

Only here to put YOU out.

Smoking is a huge problem, in my opinion. Here is a poem that I wrote addressing it.
