Opioid Wars

The battle against the flow of drugs continues unabated

The quest of millions upon millions of dollars by the cartels never sated

Ingenuity has no higher creativity than sellers of illegal drugs as today reveals

They will go to any length to find places where the drugs they can conceal

In Bell Gardens at Taqueria Los Altos a mom put a quarter in for a bouncing ball

In another example of why to hinder the flow of drugs we must have a wall

Cheaply made after a few bounces it burst apart

What was found would break any mother’s heart

It was filled with a fine powder quite white

To a mother’s eyes did not look right

Police were called and determined powder was cocaine

Police searched the vending machine to find that five ounces it contained

If the child had been alone when the ball burst

Out of curiosity ate it, that family would join the victims of our opioid curse

In another example of how by the drug cartels this country with its porous border is being screwed

At a border crossing in San Diego the Border Patrol became suspicious of a Jeep loaded with food

Called upon the sniffers of its canine to intrude

150 pounds of meth being smuggled by the big dollars on the street wooed

We know in Ohio the morgues from ODs are running out of space

In Georgia mass ODs from opioids disguised as Percocets are taking place

With our open borders we are losing this deadly race

When will sanity the rabid obstruction of the wall replace?

How many more Americans will OD, many of whom will die?

Before the Blues end their crusade to Trump’s plans for our  safety defy
