Tobacco Plants

Tobacco Plants

Life emerges,
Like a silent cigarette,
Pre-ordained to kill.

Sad Haiku. Could there be a good use from this plant? Or is man's interferance with the plant that has made it the killer that it is? Excellent Haiku. Keep that magical pen flowing. Sara...I have added some to my write "El Condor Pasa"
