Life is like a Cigarette
Life Is Like A Cigarette
Pack them first
Conception.
Light up
Birth
Watch it burn
Every drag is another day.
Hold it a second.
Then exhale.
Half gone
Middle age.
Look to see how much is left
Memories.
Listen to the crackle; smoke fills the air
affecting others
Fruits of your labor.
One drag left
Final breath.
The flame is gone
Death.
Filter-corpse; ashtray-coffin.

very very good composition I like it.
keep it burning
Interesting take on life, but easily understood and applicable. For me it isn't melancholy but a bit methodical, almost like life is to be interpreted as an easy rythm not easily escaped. That's not how I see life, however, for me life is more like a balloon on a windy day, you don't know where you're headed, but it should be a fun ride! Nicely written- and easily interpreted however the reader sees fit.
Very nice, I like that a lot. PS I don't smoke. :-D
