Comparisons!!

Having lit a cigarette,
I wonder as I watch it burn,
that the cigarette, is pretty much like life....
Lighting a cigarette, is being born,
and then it slowly burns on
sometimes needing a few extra puffs
to keep it alive.....

So do we, we slowly burn
each day a lil' closer to our ends
and like the stub of a cigarette
harshest at the end
due to accumulated nicotine and tar
So we, with knowledge and more
get frail and decompose
eternally burning to our ends.....
