US tobacco firms sue over graphic labels

Will he reach for another
Despite the image of
A plume of smoke encircling
A diapered infant?
Let him be haunted by photographs of white vapors rising
From hole in clavicle;
Blackened lung
Dusted with soot;
Rotting, yellowed teeth
In a mouth lined with burns
Will addiction’s throb overpower
The foreboding of elderly man
Wearing an oxygen mask?
No. He will close his eyes to
Chest of cadaver
Lined with gunmetal sutures;
Tears of sobbing woman
As she mourns alone.
