Kids on the street

As i approached my block, i saw 3 kids
aged about 8 - 10 the most, they looked at me, terrified
i looked at them
into their hands
and i saw cigarettes
is there nothing we can do to prevent these things from happening?
at that moment, i really felt like going over
flashing a card and then pretending to be a cop
hoping that this experience will stop them from growing into becoming a smoke
not that i have anything against smokers
but at such a young age, how can he knows what he wants?
alas, i walked past.
and sadly i saw them trying to light up the sticks of poison.
the power of peer pressure
if only someone could do something
if only
