Drug Dystopia

Drug Dystopia,  Drug Dystopia War on drugs War on people Who use drugs. Screwing up your life When you could just say no It's not so much a choice BUT AN ADDICTION Where the drug eases the suffering At least for a bit. What's an addiction But an excuse to be weak Most of us humans Even you, Are imperfect And need your compassion If not your love. Drugs kill Addicts Always want more Causes overdoses Worthless lives And death in the gutter. Most overdoses Rehab breakdown Humans Not yet saved Overdoses come Come from relapses In triggered moments traumas relived Overdoses from corrupted drugs Diluted with Fentanyl 100 times stronger than heroin Drugs fill our prisons Ignorant laws without understanding or compassion Fill our prisons. On tv, Sopranos Tony, the gangster with blood on his hands, Berates his cousin for using drugs And America cheers. In West Virginia, jobs go away and people stumble Running to drugs to ease the pain And the caring increase the police and expand the prisons And Trump’s trama echos in unison with theirs.
