Inhaling smoky lead,
Carbonated old lung,
Alcohol burnt liver,
Rotten kidneys cry,
Faded blood in vessels,
My heart is poisoned,
I am dying like a cigar,
Ashes in my breaths,
This me is not me,
This is someone else,
I was evergreen,
But this one is gray,
Who am I?
A civilized new generation,
Or a pile of decomposed flesh,
Contaminating myself,
Contaminating my world,
Contaminating my future,
Who am I?
Loud and clear. Detailed and harsh, right up front and to the point. Straight out and saying it like it is. Good points and reality! Great poem. DC
Once a man who was happy and healthy due to non-smoking, is now depressed and unhealthy due to smoking can be likened to Earth once evergreen during ancient times with less technology, is now polluted during modern times with more technology. Very insightful.
