A Wise Man Once Said;

Go smoke a death stick, another nail in the coffin because you only live once, but still, why prolong your suffering.

There will always be
another cigarette.
As long as there is another cigarette
I believe there is still hope for this world.
As long as kids are still grabbing
from their parents packs
growing up- to become the future.

There is hope for the world
because in the chaos
that envelopes us all,
taking us under its demon wings,
there will always be
another cigarette.

And if there is
always another cigarette
there will always be hope for the world
as long as the children fill their lungs
and grow up to smoke
there will always be hope
for where there is stress
you need never worry.

For there will always be
another cigarette.

I smoked when I was deployed which was part nerves, boredom, staying awake and the need to cling to something. I stopped when I came home. There wasn't any point any more and my wife would have had a coniption. I do relate to the "there's always hope as long as there is cigarettes part. Great write friend

Beautifully written. The cigarette part remind me of Soul Kitchen by The Doors. I really like this poem though. I'm definitely going to check out some of your other stuff in a few
