 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


But I do not push Jesus as some do
Nor do I preach my religion to you
Other than of course let you know
The Ten Commandments are the way to go
I do lecture on drugs and smoking
no preaching I do it from experience
I worked in the Air Force Osan Korea Hospital
and cigarettes were free
If I knew then what I know now I'd let it be
Two to three packs a day for three years
Done allot of damage to my lungs I fears
So there's the answer Doc how long I was smoking
those who do end up dying and stroking
Many are closer to Jesus than me
In the past I sinned and am paying you see
This coughing Asmatic I smoked years ago
Mom died young of Cancer you know
She gave up smoking too late
But it was too late and too slow
I can't change that I did in the past
Asking for forgivness is all I can ask
Some well say your wrong believe as I do
If I didn't know it is how you are brought up
to believe in your own God I'd be a fool
All I can say is I believe Jesus is watching over you
And to get to Heaven that is the tool
I see the world around me changing every day
Gaining riches on the back of your neighbor not the way
Smoking doping cheating lying turns the heart to clay
More and more less sunshine clouds turning grey
Throw that stinking weed away
