Tobacco Prophet

Sacred plant
prayer carrier
mosquito chaser
parasite killer
gift for elder

lung cancer click
in life expectancy
cool hall menthol
juvenile delinquency
way beyond earning of years

wound poultice
but
waste
synthetic toxicant
left with diapers
snow white
crystal slipper
life extender filter
bad apple
brilliant marketing
walkey seed
spoiled the whole bank
magic beans corn squash
jack squat.

Silly harvest
sacrificed face
burnt offering wind in eyes

Once sacred
now abundant abomination
smoke billow carry water droplet drop through sky
clear atmosphere
reaching this side of posted sign

tumbling leaves
cement roads slow
accumulated dust
soon and just once
will not be swept eternally
but
now knows is 
nobody here
but
US profits.
