Intoxicant

Ruins everywhere and no one notices

Like a ghost, it is invisible

The compounds of waste piling high

A foul stench wreaking of rotting corpses

Flesh morbid, disgusting.

A fetus in a jar

Skin pale, not even fully created.

And the mother-

Teeth so yellow, lungs so black.

Dead from cancer.

Lived the rest of her years on an oxygen tank.

Sick.

The child was already a smoker.
