A Young Chimney….

”THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF HEALTH WARNS THAT SMOKERS ARE LIABLE TO DIE YOUNG”

Clouds and Rings of smoke fills the air

Various shapes and sizes, the incomplete building is their lair

He is often found with this bad crew

He changes girls, he always has them brand new

His boldness, confidence and swagger grew

He could get just any girl he desires and wanted

Naija, Yankee and even those that were janded

Another puff  of it and he is in ecstasy

He is surely higher than the heavenly bodies

A loud bang on the door is heard to interrupt this divine feeling

Not even the sound of his fathers keys jingling

Frank what is going on in there?

The question of a curious father

But all this falls on deaf ears

Frank is high, high like a kite 

So high, he is like an eagle in flight

The door breaks open eventually

Brother, Mother and Sister were in a state of melancholy

Father takes a look at Frank a spitting image of him

His son looks so pale and frail

Frank had taken his last puff

He took the last of this hard stuff

He had smoked himself out of this universe

And now all we hear is a sad Sunday bible verse

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

What a lovely soul his family has lost

He was feeble, frail and young

This boy of thirteen has gone to the great beyond
