When you left your childhood to become an adolescent. <br />Your mind was elated, curious and effervescent. <br />You wanted to know the unknown and try the untried. <br />You were prepared to break laws and put rules aside <br />Then you smoked me bit by bit. <br /> <br />When you saw any girl having beauty immense. <br />You wanted love between you and her to commence. <br />You looked at her with pleasing smile. <br />You held me in your hand with great style <br />And you smoked me bit by bit. <br /> <br />When you were in anguish, pain and grief. <br />You wanted somekind of respite and relief. <br />You held me between your fingers tight. <br />With help of lighter you set me alight <br />And you smoked me bit by bit. <br /> <br />When you wanted to show your happiness to others. <br />With happiness and smoke you wanted to create smothers. <br />With joy you cried, shouted and yipped. <br />Then tightly between your lips you gripped <br />And you smoked me bit by bit. <br /> <br />Now I became your habit and your need. <br />You were ready to surrender and concede. <br />You were losing a thing which cannot be bought with wealth. <br />You cared the least about your deteriorating health <br />And you smoked me bit by bit. <br /> <br />Now everywhere and anywhere you cough. <br />You are sick and your end is not faroff. <br />People look at you with pity and ruth. <br />You fool, now let me tell you the truth <br />All these days I smoked you bit by bit.<br /><br />Md.
