Menthol Breakdown

Warlords love the crack cackling sound ... faint vapors smelled worldwide, when twine toking on the choking peace pipe Lying lips huffing and puffing, blowing smoke out the barrel rear end Frontal sphincter holes open and close ... Pre-negotiated spoils fanning the wind Rub two cancer sticks together, to start a third global forest fire blazing Twin Smoky Bear false witnesses, like Pilate and Herod — Duo hardcore sworn enemies becoming so Maryjane best bud friends Truth is a menthol breakdown, a Kool summer breeze on a hot, Camel caravan night Warning of mirage oasis whisperings filling the Death Valley desert air with nuclear fright Warlords love doing the iron lung Scorpion crawl, passing the slim peace pipe inside of the toilet stall Flushing nicotine hope down the porcelain drain; huffing and puffing, with covetous tar face delight Singing with ember glee in the Inferno dire reign Smoking jacket pleasure fills talky polluted atmosphere with syrupy cough pain Paranoia beyond measure, empties womb palpitating fear: Tick tick puffer insane Warlords love the milk poppy urn sound, silent nods heard worldwide ... when dumping vow ashes from the peace pipe Truth is a menthol breakdown, a Marlboro spring breeze on a cold, Salem witch night Warning of hibernating pyre whisperings filling the Negev autumn air with nuclear winter fright Warlords love the crack cackling sound ... vaporized air felt worldwide, when chain toking on the cranium choking peace pipe Lying lips huffing and puffing, blowing idol smoke out the gunny shark rear end Sphincter jaw Pinocchio nose open and close ... Fungi ‘shroom spittle spores make the sky darken Warlords love the crystal meth blurb sound, LSD plan heard dark web worldwide ... Life-Stopping Detonations be brimstone smoke coming from a broken peace pipe

A powerful write Freddie. I'm not sure I completely understand the nuances of it but the overall intent appears to deal with the destruction of ourselves in the use of substances that are promoted by big business and illegal syndicates that thrive on the destruction of society, very thought provoking.
