Look at those smokers how cool they appear <br />They inhale so stylishly but don't you think that it's queer <br />That what they're inhaling is ghastly and vile <br />They don't seem to notice that it should be a trial <br /> <br />Why do they do it? Could it possibly be <br />That they are addicted, they're not at all free <br />But because they look so much in control <br />They'll lure you in with them right into the fold <br /> <br />Please try to remember often things aren't as they seem <br />They may look confident, part of a team <br />They'll tell you they enjoy it it's one of their pleasures <br />But that foul smelling stuff is not one of our treasures <br /> <br />You'll only enjoy it when you're under its spell <br />And believe it or not it's like being in hell <br />You don't believe me? Then you've swallowed the myth <br />That smoking is glamorous. Get over it. <br /> <br />That's how people are captured year after year <br />Their health and their wallets they will lose, I do fear <br />Let's stop this senseless slaughter once and for all <br />I ask you, I beg you into this trap please don't fall<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/appearances-are-deceptive/
