The calm woman is smoking

Long ago painted by street artists

On a decrepit wall in front of weeds

Mural damaged by urban terrorists

Who hate civilisation’s marking

That cater for wants and needs

She can’t catch throat cancer

Fading old spray-paint pealing

Attacked by sore tagging

Looking like a fake revolution

Designed to create revulsion

Hooded stupidity idiotic fever

Lacking philosophy without ideology

Hating everything even if in need 

Of doctor a hospital or another fix

Tagging life is lousy carelessology

Without need nor loving creed

Smoking with a nihilist final risk

With freedom to smoke and self-kill

My mate died long ago

Tobacco was on his final bill

Debonaire flick of a spent mégot

Old filtered Pall Mall killed Nick

Good people fell for the trick

Lucy & Desi plugged Philip Morris

Rick Marlow Malboro one last shove

And Bécaud with what now my love

Humphrey’s life spent up in smoke

Caruso sung a final croak

Cooper died for a last kiss

Walt gave us Mickey and team

Died young before his last dream 

Victor Crawford sold the trick

If you can’t attack the message

Destroy the messenger’s stick

Dismiss health risks and addiction to puff

The jury is still out on this stuff

The real issue is freedom of choice 

Health Nazis want to take it away

                  Till you die before Joyce

                           Too young before Hemingway

                                 Who drank like an intelligent man

                                        Spends his time with suicidal stupidity
