Tobacco Company Owners and Execs

TOBACCO EXECS Tobacco execs have got no souls, for the pain and death, no end to these tolls. How many people have got to die, before they wake up and open their eyes. How much pain and suffering, has got to be endured, by the innocent addiction of nicotine, they add to cigarettes and there is no cure. Too hard to stop, it’s so unbelievable. People will do almost anything, for just one more puff. Begging and pleading, almost nonstop; the sight is indescribable. Even though smokers know, smoking kills. They continue, just for the thrills, of nicotine highs and relaxation; even though the smoke stinks,  and they lose their concentration. Smoking copouts, of everyone dies sometimes. Nicotine blinding them, of the facts, that smoking kills, sometimes it’s not them, it could be loved one’s, but they’ll still continue. Second hand smoke killing, how strong is nicotine; Tobacco manufacturers know the answers. Tobacco company owners Tobacco company owners can all go to hell, for all their lies they continue to tell. Smoking causes cancer, anyone can see. All the evidence in front of you, or are you to blind to see. It can happen to anyone, including you or me. Nicotine addiction, you cannot break free. Cancer causing agents, included with every puff. Second hand smoke, that’s the scary stuff. Everywhere you go, someone’s always smoking. You would think by now, people would learn their lesson. Can’t believe, can’t understand, their way of thinking. Don’t they know life is a gift and a blessing? To waste it on cigarettes is such a shame. Tobacco company owners are the only ones to blame. Greed for money, growing to the billions. Year after year, death toll reaches millions. Unseen, untold, slow lingering death. Soon there won’t be anyone left. Innocent victims, some dying so young. Never to grow up and have some fun.
