One white stick <br />One white stick with an orange rim <br />Inside one white stick <br />Is a one-way ticket to the grim reaper <br /> <br />One white stick <br />Put in the mouths of children <br />Put in the mouths of adults <br />Put in the mouths of those who are not born <br /> <br />One white stick <br />Causes breath shortage <br />One white stick <br />Fills the lungs with darkness <br /> <br />That one white stick <br />Is a killer <br />Man-made <br />Man-used <br />Mans fault <br /> <br />One <br />White <br />Stick.<br /><br />Natalie Clyne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-white-stick/
