Anti-Ode to a Cigarette
You disgusting, dirty cigarette
How can you continually be liked by smokers?
You are as filthy as unfiltered, dirty water
You are toxic to people’s minds and bodies
You are an unacceptable, dangerous and sickly thing
You have dangerous, addictive substances –nicotine, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia
Foolish people careless about their health puff you
You cause the death of innocent lives
Oh, how much I hate you!
Why are you in people’s lives?
You take away the breath of someone every single day
You are a murderer
