a cigarette

I can feel it seeping into my lungs…
Cancerous, deliciousness…
I can feel the warmth coming from the orange-burning end,
The warmth burns through me.
The brisk, windy winter day causes me to rush.
I want to savor you, my deathly friend.
I abruptly end you, tossing you aside,
Just like an old piece of garbage.
Five minutes ago you were all I wanted,
And now you are nothing to me.
Discarded tobacco,
Wasted paper and chemicals.

A nice anti-smoking poem, just what the kids need. Ha Ha. I liked how you showed how the smoker gets their pleasure from the cigarette, then showed their disgust for it at the end.

Sometimes that's all I need.
A puff of some cancerous weed.
