Don't Smoke
I don't understand, Daddy
I know what you say
I'm too young
I'm too small
I'm too ignorant
But you can tell me
Everyone is crying
Everyone is mourning
How
Why
When
Did this happen?
It was sudden
It was horrible, that Uncle
Is dead
Is passed
Is gone
From our family
But Daddy said it was
His own fault
How is it
Why is it
Could it be
His fault?
Daddy said he smoked
I know that, I saw him
But how could
That cause
His own
Death?
Daddy said he got
Something called lung cancer
And it grew
And grew
And grew
Until Uncle got too sick
So no one should ever
Smoke again
It kills
It attacks
It weakens
You until you can't live
Just don't smoke.
