The Vicious Fix
By Lynn Ockersz
For the denizens of the Fabled Land,The shock is far too much to bear – How come the drug menace,This long course has run? ‘Aren’t we guilty of criminal negligence?’Of themselves and of their rulers they ask;‘We have been smugly dead for so long,To all that’s been happening,On this head-spinning patch of land,While generations into addiction have sunk…’,
This is the thought tearing remorseful minds,But the sage would add thus -‘Focus also on the demand side,And not only the supply side;For, if hard drugs are sprouting on all sides,It’s because more and more minds,See in them the quick-fix to growing despair.’
