Kiss Of Death! ...(On 31, May.. No Tobacco Day) Poem by saadat tahir

Kiss Of Death! ...(On 31, May.. No Tobacco Day)

Rating: 5.0


(Approaching, No tobacco day)

Pale faced sit at the radiologist's den,
eyeing him scribble a Montblanc pen.

Pondering days as a macho man
bare regard for the smoking ban

Delightful puff after a belly brunch.
Crushing packs in amusing scrunch.

Awe struck watch the luring adds.
Tobacco ones then carry home wads.

Take you pride in the trick and flick.
Single handed jerk and fancy slick.

Misplaced passion, you kiss the stub.
For mindless arson, you have a club.

Buy fancy tit-bits for the scourge.
A wilting wife who needs more rouge.

Lit up fags on the barest hunch.
Care a fig for the angel bunch.

A gift, little ones, to this world.
How they smile, asleep an curled.

These flowers; pl don’t hurt no more.
Let the air they breathe be pure.

Care an shield the expectant ones.
Stop spewing circles an your puns.

Allow your elders fresh air to breathe
Already for air they long and seethe

Off the bus and everyone heaves.
Wish he’s gone an forever leaves.

Scant your regard for their sighs.
Deep down burn their smarting eyes.

Pain and strain your friendly tie.
Till, you from cancer, one day die.

slogan says''SAY NO TO CIGARETTES'... this piece is quiet interesting coz it rhymes and it does many things for example you portay the tobacco as a bad fling so careful to sniffed that dangerous thing... smoking is dangerous to your health as doctors say so, why not stop? ...don't try to smoke addictly just live without it, just live simply for a long life with friends and family.. nothing is lost if we care ourselves so that no complications in our health like cancer chemotherapy is very expensive dear am sure, we cant recover due to a very expensive care..........naizz
