Smokey Lungs

Crackling Breathing
Wheezing black lungs
Toxins are seething
Tar parked among
Stubbornly apparent
Selfishly coherent 
Still boldly smoking away

Stunningly idiotic
Inhalingly hypnotic
Ground Breaking Discoveries
Show less lung recoveries 
Generations of addiction
Some have permanent affliction
They need inhalers today

Grippingly enthralling
People continue falling
Drug dealers are victorious
Selling drugs unglorious
Getting away with lawlessness
Covering up their flawlessness
Some smokers will never change

Guiltily societies hide
Gropingly searching for pride 
Science blindly leading the blind
Legally no guideline is kind
Cancer seems ignored today
Smoking lungs expel away 
Destroying life’s hope… is strange~
