Where will you be
twenty twenty
I've got news for
you aplenty
Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
let me fire my missles
in a no fly zone
I don't need your permission
to release ammunition
You might as well leave if
you're looking for contrition
Rifle Rifle—wait for it wait for it
Trifle Trifle—everything's legit
Eyeful Eyeful—never can forget
Look out! I strike without warning
Splash! Try again tomorrow morning
Liar Liar
tongues on fire
can't put out the
forest fire
Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
let me drop my ordnance
in a no fly zone
I don't need your permission
to release ammunition
Get in my crosshairs
You'll be headed to perdition
Rifle Rifle—wait for it wait for it
Trifle Trifle—everything's legit
Eyeful Eyeful—never can forget
Look out! I strike without warning
Splash! Try again tomorrow morning
Leave me alone let
me pilot my drone
let me fire my missles
in a no fly zone
Here's the facts hard cold
if I may be so bold
if you really want to win
you'll have to wait till I get old
One step forwards
two steps backwards
Once released you
can't take back words
Poet's Notes
Poetry form: Lyric
Please note the following:
The video game industry, at over $130 billion a year, is bigger than film and television combined.
.
“Exposure to violent video games can desensitize individuals to real-life violence, increases aggressive thoughts, angry feelings, physiological arousal and aggressive behaviors,” say research psychologists at Iowa State University, U.S.A.
Based on a study of 600 young video game players, researcher Brent Stafford, of Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, warns that many games “are training our kids to celebrate violence.”
