Pressing a Button is Pragmatic

A Poem by CosminDZS

it's not about video games

Target eliminated,
enemy erased.
Guns go boom,
brains go splat,
all across the room.

You don't know
that it's not just
graphics.
The man was not
automatic,
pressing a button is
pragmatic.

Yet seeing it
on a grey-green screen
does not mean
your hands are clean.

Your brain records
almost everything it sees,
so you won't ever forget,
that when you're old and
asthmatic
pressing a button was once
pragmatic.
