No Smoking


No Smoking

There he is in the clouds of darkness

Aware of what are the consequences

Shortening his life with utter foolishness

Thinks he’s cool ticking ash of the edges

Burning 11 minutes of his lifer in just over 8 cents

Is it justified as a price for this precious life?

Turning to ash these gorgeous moments we have lent

I ask, oh dear why die slowly here take this knife.

Don’t you think about the future?

Of your loved ones, friends and family

Why play with life’s feeble sutures?

For little pleasure of yours, temporary and deadly

Wasting the valuable body that has been gifted

Don’t you think one day you’ll have to answer?

Ask its value to those who have been lifted

From power to see, to hear, walk, talk and laughter

All of the poison that you are taking

If I start counting it will leave you dumbstruck

And you think its called heroism, which you are faking

You may become a real one if utilized the same effort for peace and comfort

If you continue like this your destruction is inevitable

Fine don’t care for yourself

But why making other’s life vulnerable

As smoke is lethal to your company as well

Don’t you feel a bit of remorse?

By Just creating a burden for the society and your family

If you think it’s a joke go to hell! Can’t stop you by force

Grab a weapon and let strike, the calamity

Its still time to ponder

For its never late to realize

Thinking about the past only makes you fonder

Quit smoking, and let nature unleash it paradise

Find happiness in the colours of life

Much more vibrant, permanent and awesome

For smoke may bring relaxation for a while

With a corollary that is gruesome

By turning the tide we can improve

The view of life, the minds and souls

Say no to cigarettes, spread the message to every groove

That ‘cigarette is a thing with flame on one side and on other side, a fool”
