Hot Wheels, Death Wheels

by tempeste

 
Reading the police graphic
it is obvious the issue
 became even more dramatic
during the pandemic.

A growing amount of teens
sought to add some
spice
to their empty, disrupted lives;
ready to roll the dice
racing in a maze like mice.

Smoking, screeching wheels
in street car races,
giving each other chase;
if caught repeatedly
jail time these dumbasses face.

They are a disgrace
putting in harm's way
even innocent by-passers
in their reckless play
while their gassed-up mates
with joy cheer them on
in their death game.
