I am struck by this as I have known many who fight this battle. We loose this battle on drugs because...well just follow the money trail-therein the answer lies.

equestik, you are so very correct, we truly have lost this battle that has been going on for forty years and now many States are legalizing a drug to create a new taxation, HOW STUPID?
Comment from A. Fortier
JLR,
Great entry for this contest. Thank you for sharing. This poem illustrates a concept many go through in such few words. It's well-written and thought provoking. The image compliments it well.

A. Fortier, thank you so much!
Comment from Gloria ....
Congratulations on your contest win, J. This is a fine social commentary and is a nasty reflection of the actual non-caring of our societies and civilization.
It appears we have quite a way to go forward and yet we appear to moving backward.
Great job and congratulations again. :)

Congrats on winning the contest! Easy to see why! You've packed a sociological thesis, a sermon and a reality check into 17 syllables--and chosen the perfect photo to accompany your poem! Excellent--Karenina

Comment from Eternal Muse
A very powerful statement in this poem. Congratulations on your contest win! There are so many like him these days, especially now, at pandemic times, seeking help and "help not found." Great descriptive imagery, an excellent artistic presentation and that award winning photo.
Thank you for sharing.

Eternal muse, Thank you I am honored to have won. Yes we have lost this forty year war on drugs and now we have States foolishly hoping for tax windfalls with legalize marijuana...just follow the money, So Sda.
Comment from Sanku
The continued failure of war on drugs will be a blot on human history and our collective psyche.This Lowcu very aptly capsules the addicts feelings (that is if he has any left)
Well done! All the best for the contest.

"See me, I am lost", is a short, succinct and heart-wrenching piece. With a minimum of words, this talented poet has told it as it is. Sadly,help isn't always there when we need it. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Mia Twysted
What is gross here is the person who is stuck doing drugs that bring them down. It is a fight that I do not see ending any time soon.
I wish you good luck in the contest.

Mia, what is gross is we have lost the war on drugs, and the states and national politicians do nothing to help these people find a pathway off the addictions.
