a video game, the speed boats
and makeshift
drug cartel
submarines are being blown
to smithereens
on the highs seas.
they appear to be
full
of sacks of cocaine
and whatever
other lethal concoctions
they've made.
some say
about time, while others cry
and say
what about their rights?
shouldn't we catch them
first
and process them to see if
they've actually
committed a crime.
maybe we can talk to them
and ask them
why.
give them safe haven,
with three meals
and a bed,
health care and a psychologist
to see what's
on their mind.
sometimes a hug is all a person
needs to turn
their life around.
meanwhile,
maybe a thousand less people
have overdosed
and died.
