Cigarette addiction kills people <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />It ruins their health <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />They cannot breathe properly <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Their addiction causes them misery <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />A trillion cigarette butts pollute our earth daily <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Cigarettes cause fires which burn many people to death <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Parents buy cigarettes when their children need to eat <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Cigarette smoke fills our bars and nightclubs, very unpleasant <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Dirty ashtrays are disgusting <br />But it makes me lots of money <br />Why are you allowed to promote and sell such a disgusting product? <br />Because I've got lots of money <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2003)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/but-it-makes-me-lots-of-money/
