The Children are Watching

 

The children are watching

And they will remember—

That is if this nation doesn’t fall apart first.

At least  they’ll be forewarned of the worst-

thanks to our screens the tyranny is being viewed in real time.

Sublime.

They are seeing the  irrational chases, handcuffs, disappearings,

The single mother being shot in the face for no reason

Except that it is once again the killing season.

Innocents of all colors and sizes being hunted—

Noobs to be pwned--

By grown gamer boys cosplaying as soldiers—

Never taught the difference between fantasy and reality. 

They must think this is the best game ever.

Whatever.

The children are watching

And they will remember.
