All know-“Smoking is injurious to health” <br />The label on cigarette-packs too says! <br />And this is just the legal requirement; <br />To sell Tobacco in so many ways! <br /> <br />The walls are painted in such wondrous hues! <br />That captivates the mind of any soul; <br />The advertisements are cleverly done, <br />That reaches hearts of everyone- prime goal. <br /> <br />The smoker is soon slave to Tobacco! <br />The magic works in any type of clime, <br />Relaxing minds and taking stress off work; <br />The habit turns addiction in short time. <br /> <br />While planes and trucks carry the poison leaf, <br />The air gets polluted- anyone’s guess! <br />The unwary souls breathe and invite grief; <br />Lung-Cancer takes its toll in much excess. <br /> <br />While Academies discuss key-issues, <br />The world remains confused by smoke-hazards; <br />Who cares about the lives unfairly lost, <br />Though dangers are highlighted by ev’n Bards? <br /> <br />12-09-2003 <br />Copy-righted by dr john celes<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/and-still-people-smoke/
