this isnt a very great poem but its an irony:

Its funny sometimes...not the laughing funny but the kind of funny that
things arent right. like somethings out of place...something doesnt fit.
its funny how the Very best of people..could be the best, most nice person
in the world could turn out to be, just because they didnt deserve their parents.
i know, it is true, they ARE their parents but still... something wouldent be right.
even know some things are meant to be, and that is what i believe in, but the truth
is... the best of things always turn wrong.My heart has been broken many times because
one of my friends start to smoke at a young age. im not mentioning names..but..it just
that whenever something so pure, so delightful, turns because of a wrong choice of their
parents.and im not blaming parents either. all im saying is that why do all the good people
in the world turn bad because some god damn company (excuse the language) decides to
advertise to kids. i may be 14 but i do have a voice. some people dont choose to use their
voice, but i choose mine the way i want to. not the way some company tries to sell me things
so i rise. i rise because all the filth and disease in the world and in people come
from those companies. im talking about the tobbacco industry. i could not tell you
how much i hate them because there is no type of word for it. all i know is when
i get older, i will NEVER let my kids smoke..and i hope you do the same..thank you. :angry:

ironic, some wise words in there. But it still happens wherever you go, people their lives caught under the influence of baccy, drugs, cigarettes, etc.

i wasnt talking about the druggies in general, i was just saying how bad the human society hs gotten... when we re so consumed by greed and so consumed by power that we have forgotten lifes true meaning. i may have done some extremely stupid ( but funny ) things in my 14 years of living but still...nothing compares to smoking..there is this girl in my school...a girl named jessi who does all three things. marijuana, smoking, drinking, and my friend likes her...i cant see why.but from her seeing advertizing she has become an advertisement herself..inflewencing 6th and 7th graders....but i cant stand it! i cant! my friend used to be the same as me. he would consider smoking a bad thing..but now he was going out with her ( and her green and yellow teeth) ( o, UGH) now HE is smoking! i try to talk him out of it but now he says to me that smoking is cool... i nearly beat the crap out of him just because he said that...

I understand what you mean. Something similar happened to a friend of mine. She was the ex girlfriend of a guy who never had anything to do with drugs. (I know, I'm not talking about people who take drugs in general, just this lad).

I reckon it was peer-pressure though because K noted some packets strewn where they were hanging out the night before. Her suspicions were that he was taking them. His Innocence was lost.


...

you're kinda long-winded noize,in a good way..anyways, i agree with you...i have friends that were the good kinda ppl, u know the ones well goody 2 shoes like until: SMOKING..they started smoking and everything of the sort..it makes me mad that all cigarette companies want to do is sell.. they dont care what the age is, they are trying to get their advertisments to look cool to kids...i have lost many friends, my dad, and im losing my mom due to smoking. i made a promise to myself that i would never smoke. so far i have kept that promise..
