Another Nail In the Coffin

Ostracized by society we have been relegated To small corners and alleys, segregated Not given the same rights and attention As those that are dementing the nation We don’t deserve to be victimized If you don’t believe; look into our eyes The same we frown, the same we grin But for a habit we are kin within We have been blamed for fouling the air While hoards of steel carriages go by without care We have been taxed and told that we must pay For the sins that cost the rest so much, they say But what of lost days due to hangover, and the marriages trashed Or the thousands injured or killed by a drink induced crash This perverted nation that took prayer from our schools Steals freedom of choice and allows the godless to rule Keeps trying to find new places in which it’s nose to poke None where it belongs and all should anger provoke So be politically correct and let prejudice die You all have your vices that no one denies So leave us to smoke if that’s the choice that we make If cancer we get, that the chance that we take We mean no harm to man nor beast But of all society we are loved the least All we ask is to be treated with fairness, and spare us Don’t pass us and pretend our lives have no merit Give us our freedom and we will once again be able To solve the world’s problems out back, at the smokers table
