The Puff of Smoke!!

Emerging from within…
I get liberated…
In the process liberating others
From what I don’t know!!
Who am I?

I am the lifeline,
I am the devil,
For those beyond my grasp,
I am the ‘Passive Evil’!!
Who am I?

I sympathize with the defeated,
I intoxicate the victorious,
I give company even in solitude,
I am relentless!!
Who am I?

I represent a moral dilemma,
I represent an independent choice,
To be or not to be is the question,
What says your inner voice?
Who am I?

I was never ever fashionable,
Nor was I ever more chic!!
Sometimes I am nebulous and esoteric,
At times I am clear and simple!!
Who am I?

I am the companion,
I am the servant,
I AM THE MASTER!!
I don various hats!!!
Who am I?

I am the rebel without a cause,
I am the dominating vice,
The virtuous tag shies from me,
I pray I don’t know why!!!
I am thy very humble…
PUFF OF SMOKE!!!

Occasion – This poem is a result of my observation of people, whom I have known from very close quarters and who have been indulging in smoking!! On a personal note I would add that I don’t promote smokers or smoking, for that matter!!
