Video Games

Are they tame?
Our children who were sweet
Become anxious,
Stressed, 
Obnoxious,
Controlled,
And upset
When they can't figure out the next frame.
They'll throw controllers, yell
And kick things as if under a spell.
In a blur they'll go to the internet
Looking for cheats
That let
Them beat 
The boss to prove their fame.
God help the person who should delete
Or maim
An unfinished video game. 
No one dare touches for everyone knows their
LIFE will be over if anyone should mutter a name.

its like an obsession Bette, no wonder some children are lacking in social skills and are obese when only their fingers and hands see any movement:-( hugs Jan xx

It is sad that the way the games are made influence this type of behavior out of some children. Not all. Thank you for stopping by. I hope all is well with you and yours.
