Electric Lighter

Electricity is not my friend,

Let me tell you why,

I love playing with it,

A passionate call,

That I have in my spirit,

It is pretty outrageous the feeling,

It separates me from all of my extra feelings,

My sister gave me an electronic lighter for my birthday,

What a sweet sentiment, right,

Mother hates the idea though,

Contributing to an ugly habit?

I use nicotine to soothe my anxiety levels,

And curb my appetite for lustful sin,

It also controls the massive population of this great country of ours,

Just a funny joke,

Freedom is key,

God bless America.
