Some businesses
We can do without
On this earth.
Businesses
Selling
Alcohol
Tobacco
Drugs and
Fizzy drinks
I don't
Understand
Their business
Ethics.
Why make money
By ruining people's
Health?
You may say:
People should
Have a choice.
Why give them
This choice?
Why tempt them
With addictives?
If adults
And elders
Find it hard
To fight
Substance abuse,
What hope we have
For the young, infantile
And the vulnerable?
They'll invariably
Fail to cope.
For the betterment
Of society and to
Have a healthy
Society,
Businesses should
Quit selling
Tobacco, alcohol,
Fizzy drinks and
Dope.
