Smoking is Dangerous

Smoking kills

Smoking is Dangerouse

You light it up like it’s no big deal

a moment’s comfort in your fingers

but every drag steals breath and time

slowly pulling life away

And when it’s done you drop the stub

on cracked concrete or wet grass

no thought for dirt, no thought for fire

just flick it down like it means nothing

That little piece burns quietly

poison left behind to poison more

a careless act that stains the street

and feeds the smoke that never clears

One habit leads to many scars

not just on lungs but all around

a trail of ash and broken trust

forgotten in the wind’s cold hand

Stop pretending it’s just a smoke

when the ground drinks the fallen lies

and what you toss without a care

could burn the grass beneath your feet
