It's the reason not the doing

 

Smoking spreads like cancer,

Continually passing from youth to youth.

Too many weak fools that cant say no as an answer

Yet many act tough and say they real, is this really the truth?

 

Smoking is a trend, and a trend is following

Dudes think it’s so tough and hot

Can’t blame ‘em, ‘cause they dicks b*****s be swallowing.

Yet ten years from now their insides beginning to rot.

 

Seventeen-year-old girl hides when she smokes,

Doesn’t do it because others do, just out of stress.

 A poster child of being real, far from a hoax,

I say real, because she never tries to impress.

 

I got nothing against smoking, just the reason.

And the attitude many develop.

Real isn’t being tough, it’s self-expression.

So if some punk tries to influence you, stop!

 

You’ll be happy in the future if you say no.

Never smoke for attention, NEVER go that low.

I AGREE!!! I know so many people that smoke just to impress... When I first started college last semester I started to smoke to relieve my stress but my friends tried to start just to act cool around me... it was weird because i was usually the one that followed the trend... I thought they were all stupid for it... To follow is to be weak... I don't understand why people feel they must follow in order to be "cool" you're cooler if you don't follow and become the leader.... Great poem with a great lesson!
