Video Shame

I'm watching my son Playing his strange game If we're not careful Will he go insane? He seems to enjoy This World of pretend It is just fantasy Not real in the end He's still the same guy I don't see a change You may wonder why I don't think it's strange He knows the difference Between right and wrong Through conversation We helped him along Values that he learned Didn't come from his game If that was the case It would be a shame Video Games Played Contest.

Congrats !! I really comes down to talking with the children. Making sure they realize it's fantasy and not real, what's right and what's wrong. Enjoyed your poem.

They say the proof is in the pudding and Matthew is a sensitive artistic and articulate young man. Musician and on his way to becoming a pharmacist. As parents we still decide how much time is spent and what other activities our kids are involved with. We also need to talk to them.

what a great way to do this contest. I really should try to think of something. It's a shame that this contest has so few entries. I just know ZERO about video games. I commend you for taking the challenge.
