Tobacco - Poem by Sidi Mahtrow

Others try to control tobacco use
Forcing one to become a recluse
Where in isolation of one's own choosing
Others gather to avoid the abusing.

Tobacco is a blessing in disguise
As it hastens ones demise
An early death seems to be ensured
So that the agony of old age need not be endured.

When the cost to the country is considered
Would be less expensive to let those like encumbered
Go the ways of Tobacco's pleasures
Than the cost of old age's Medical Adventures.

Just a thought for those who seem hell bent
On seeing that others must repent
And enjoy the agony of growing old
If it is in fact, enjoyment bold!

(From one who doesn't smoke, dip or chew.)
