Arms stretched rapidly grabbing Air too fill my airless Lungs I grab for what was plenty But know like everything "Now brought" Breath now painful Fresh air brought Premium Breathable Black-market Never pure, additives added So tastes just right, A mixture of many That with first breath Addictive Substance, Abuse, Of what everyone needs, Like liquid you swallow it "Filling lungs" Like the golden nectar of breath Every breath could be there last, But what can be done when we need Each breath to continue life, Bodies litter the floors though's not afforded The luxury of breathing, Breath air polluted by generations past, Now for every breath taken, Will a new born breath or will like those Others, exhale their last breath when So needing that need for life and breath .

Tainted Breath
Arms stretched rapidly grabbing Air too fill my airless Lungs I grab for what was plenty But know like everything "Now brought" Breath now painful Fresh air brought Premium Breathable Black-market Never pure, additives added So tastes just right, A mixture of many That with first breath Addictive Substance, Abuse, Of what everyone needs, Like liquid you swallow it "Filling lungs" Like the golden nectar of breath Every breath could be there last, But what can be done when we need Each breath to continue life, Bodies litter the floors though's not afforded The luxury of breathing, Breath air polluted by generations past, Now for every breath taken, Will a new born breath or will like those Others, exhale their last breath when So needing that need for life and breath .
