War Gamers
Night by
night sitting like obsessed gamers
Fixated on
screens. This evening’s download
Could be
Gaza, Ukraine, somewhere abroad.
Graphics are
so realistic, the framers
Ensure all
players are fully in-shot,
Both perpetrators
and victims portrayed
In role,
with impressive weapons arrayed:
Rack up more
points than last night? Perhaps not.
A helpful
voiceover or avatar
Pops up
whenever there’s something to say,
To grab
attention when it’s drifting away,
Or tempted
to upload another war.
The spectacular
needs to be massive,
For viewers
to be retained and passive.
D. A.
