A New Cigarette

Sakwa Franc

It's here with us inside our pockets

One calls one answers one tweets

It's smokeless but can be seen

No hands but controls the mind

Addictions flows in it's shanks

 

Lives are lost through it

For it kills concetration and focus

It's claws are ugly with poison

No real friends are found though it

It robs happiness from society

 

It's another kind of competition

New packages are delivered

First internet and preferred storage

It's appetite drives loots in town

No peace one calls one answers

 

Young generation have succumbed to it

Ugly and shameful acts are committed

Crimes and life threats in its puffs

Time is wasted all day on it

See beyond on what can be looked at.

    (I like how you utilise cigarettes
    as a starting trail
    for all the addictive substances
    and distractions
    purposed, to hinder our modernity
    strongly worded
    an exasperated impassioned plea
    for people to wake up..)
    an important write, dear Poet
