Life would be simple
I caught a man today
Who in his simplicity
Had gone astray
Stopped for a chat
This simple bloke
Had lost all his teeth
And no longer smoked
In his simplicity
He has gone astray
And for the error
He must now pay
But hope is eternal
Life can be rough
When at the end
Was it enough?

Yes, smoking can damage your health and eventually make you gumsy.
In saying that, just going to the shops can kill you these days.
That's true.I have a saying- killed by Coles.
A poem that leaves one questioning the issue of paying for what one does. Well done
I guess our debts get paid one way or the other.
It seems so.
Was a merry old soul was he. Calling for his pipe and such. 👍🏻🕊️
I wondered if you were prophetic
Only when the Comforter descends and gives unction. 🙏🏻🕊️
My friend, this carries a quiet sadness. One brief encounter opens onto an entire unseen history...and the physical detail shows that time has already collected its price. This brought several people to mind. Thought-provoking work,Valiantstar. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
smoking kills, but it also fills gaps and gives solace to a few.
