SMOKER PART-1

A world seen through the eyes of the smoker.

                                                                 SMOKER part-1

It started out as a simple experiment,

just to gain acceptance among peers he did it,

Not liking at first he took small puffs,

He wanted to throw it but his hands were cuffed,

He just wanted to gain standing among peers,

falling into an abyss he could no longer steer,

It wasn't too late when his parents go to know about it,

shocked as they were they didn't know face it,

they seldom tried to talk him out of it,

failing every time he resisted even harder,

now he had started hanging out with hustlers,

for he had learned a trick or two on how to trestle,

some said he was a chain smoker but to him it meant eternity,

the gates of which could be opened by that magic stick,

with passage of time he started using different stuff,

but nothing could match that magical butt,

he smoked away with glory and pride,

holding that magical stick like a bonny bride,

But one thing always confused him,

the statutory warning said injurious to health can cause cancer,

but to him his cigarette was his lover and how could it let him suffer.

Nicely done. Very astute and honest approach. I think everyone can relate in some way even if they don't smoke... maybe for some that stick is something or someone else... the gripping, confusing need can be the very same. Knowing fully well it can only end badly if you can't quit. Good job. I enjoyed it.

This captures the nature of addiction perfectly, I smoke and have since I was 13, terrible terrible thing to do and this is exactly how it started. BRAVO!

A fine poem; never been a smoker, but I can relate on other things!

Imagine that.... even in the 'worst of a habit', there exists the promise of life...
Wrap your head around that one...
Meaningful read. Clear. Topical. Thank you Chandler...
