Default the life of a cigarette

had know idea where to put this on TR but i guess this is the best possible choice.
i'm trying to incorporate my poetry to photography, might be a word for that .
but here it goes, tell me what you guys think:

The life of a cigarette

One part filter
Two parts of don’t give a shit
One part arsenic to dull the pain
Three parts fuel to incinerate quicker
Two parts nicotine to keep coming back for more
Four parts anti-smoke speech from passer-by-er
All wrapped up in a gift paper
And lined up in a box of twenty others
Almost useless without some manmade fire
Once set ablaze
Inhale
Exhale
Easy as breathing
Just some coughing in between
Stress expelled
Leaving as a white powdered smoke
Burn to the filter
Every ounce just keeps coming quicker and quicker
The red ember dies
Leaving a black, grey charcoal
It’s gone
It’s done
Just throw it to the curb
And keep repeating as needed
