Killing our Teenagers ! .... with Govt. Permission.
This Story, outlines in Graphic detail..... The Real Effects of everyday Smoking.
A lot of people will tell you its OK ?
I just guess they are wrong ! SMOKING
Can smoking be good for you ? When it kills your closest friends .
And when you lose a daughter ,you can never make amends.
If it is your only son ,Well the battle you have won.
Son I needed a fag today, sure I’m only having one.
Which one was the one that killed? I’ll answer if you stay,
The cigarette that killed was the one I had today,
And the one I had yesterday, and the day before,
But when you’re killing people you never keep the score.
Your excuse is you’re addicted, that’s always your sad tale,
If you don’t have a fag right now , you know that you will fail,
Fail to keep your reason, nearly lose your precious mind,
But if you examine closer, A new story you will find.
Death and Destruction, that’s what you’re staying near,
Emphysema / Blue Bloating will soon be your only fear.
And if you want the very best reason, to have another fag,
It stops you now from thinking, about your Body Bag.
But what of Government taxation , surely that’s a matter sore.
As she continues to fill her coffers, like a greedy seedy whore.
And health bills are rising daily, as patients scream and roar,
Kill that damned old weed instead, so we can breathe once more !
But if your local Publican, or Politician brave upon the day,
Tells you now that Smoking has really got to stay,
If he’s telling you the truth , Well you will die for him
And when he attends your funeral, your stool will be left to Jim.
So here ends another insight, I hope I tell it right,
And healthy smoke free people, they also have to fight,
For a simple God given freedom, it’s just called Sweet Fresh Air.
So leave some for your friends today, If You Really Care.
