PROHIBITION

Remember what happened before, just driven underground,
ironically, we have the right to damage health it's been found;
alcohol, sugar, nicotine, fatty foods all contribute to our death,
but should have the right to enjoy ourselves before our death.

But at what cost - health services are stretched, they will be,
by whatever comes along, humans are fallible with stupidity;
where did 'failure' start - the first bite from the tree of knowledge,
and the dismissal that this life of ours is an incredible privilege.

The concept that we will live forever dosn't really work,
like some achievable nirvana givinng all a fantastic perk;
the beautiful fruit created is now covered with fertiliser,
we should have known that our smartness is none the wiser.

We will all just be 'waved' away like some great cosmic hiccup,
Adam offered Eve a Balkan Sobranie, said - 'No thanks, I've given up.'
