Not Just a Game

I proudly take my position To obliterate their existence We’ve turned a blind eye to this sickness Poisoned brains to excel in the art of target practice on the guilty and innocent Allowing young minds to participate in these fatalities While shielding them from the harsh realities of true reality Ignorance sold in variety, gamers won’t admit defeat Repetitive images replayed in thoughts are now practiced in the streets Not taught to think, just pull the trigger and watch him virtually sleep Sending a violent message that reads, “It’s okay to be.” Parental guidance: a proposal quietly suggested in vain Until the day that we realize these are NOT just video games
