MY BEST FRIENDS by Tom Jensen
One day at a time
Step by step
Suck toxins down
With every breath
In my time of weakness
I was never all alone
I despise the day
Tobacco seeds were sewn
Hand in hand
Right by my side
And when we went
Our separate ways
A part of me died
My twenty little friends
Though small in size
Became my foes
Whom I now despise
When the truth is clear
They kill you slow
There’s no pleading ignorance
When everybody knows
