X and Y always moved hand in hand,
Their friendship was considered the best in the land,
Both of them were gifted with a beautiful mind,
Each of them was one of a kind,
They enjoyed all the colors of life,
Never once did they have a strife,
Since they had the same technical bent,
To the same college they went,
But destiny had something else in mind,
They started smoking and laid their fingers on all the cigarettes they could find,
The cigarette engulfed them like a slow poison,
and one day they shut their eyes forever to the horizon,
from their pyre, as if embracing each other,their souls rose,
just as the smoke of a cigarette grows,
Now only their bones remain,
which can be artiscally sculpted or framed,
Why dont people understand that they would end as unwanted sculptures,
by devoting their life to cigarettes which are just like hungry vultures,
It is to them I plead,
please play heed,
from this slow killer you be away,
and make yourself so strong that nothing can make you sway,
so it is up to you now how you want your life to run,
Whether to rise like the smoke or the rising sun !!!!
