I only use my playstation to play singstar...much more fun than murder...nicely said Tony.

Bravo! ! ! I have long wished to write something about these insidious 'games' and have not known where to start. I think you have said all there is to say about this evil - which in any other age would be condemned as brain-washing. Kids sitting in front of screens for hours on end, feeding into their minds the suggestion that it is okay to kill and not only that, but it is competitive and 'fun'. At one point, your verse asks 'what's next? '.... Well, we are already there, aren't we? When the novelty of the games wear off, they go out and do it for real. Just like in Roman times! If one could not satisfy the mob, the mob would satisfy themselves. To use your adopted language, Tony, this is a tour de force. I can feel the outrage, the impotent anger and the sadness. I think many people will read this and agree and say nothing! You have a knack of pulling people, screaming, from their comfort zones. Some people will miss the message - by design - because in the world we write about, roses are never red and Mary never had a little lamb. I have been waiting for you to post a new piece for a long time. It was worth the wait!
