Cigarettes.

I spent five bucks,

On 20 cancer sticks;

Anticipating the moment,

When my lighter flicks.

 

I'm met with ***** looks,

But I don't really care,

As I puff on my cigarette,

Polluting the clean air.

 

We're an elite force,

With our smoking breath,

Killing ourselves slowly,

Breathing in Death.

 

I've been told to quit.

Its a nasty habit they say.

But I think for a little while,

I want death to stay.

 

As the cherry reaches the filter,

I flick it away,

For a little while longer,

Keeping death at bay.
