MONSTER RANCHER.

we create to destroy

and destroy to refine.

we've become victims

of designer entertainment.

you raised me like an army,

and you broke me like a oath.

it's all a cruel science,

an experiment forgotten.

Author's Note

I was reading an article about an old video game I used to play when I was younger titled "Monster Farm" in Japan, and "Monster Rancher" in the United States. I really enjoyed the game when I was a kid, as it was very akin to Pokemon without being, in my opinion, as overly complicated. However, the theme and idea of raising these beings to become fighters until death really intrigued me, so I scribbled this little poem here.

Monster rancher.......creating to destroy.....an interesting poem...:)

I guess that could be said about our modern day politicians/heroes......people today are built up and then destroyed by the media....

Kinda reminds me of that anyways..... modern technology has a lot to answer for..

thanks for sharing...

Thank you so much for the review! Surely it is a bitter thing. A disgusting symbiotic relationship of all variations.

A gorgeous piece, Em. Short and sweet. I'm not familiar with the game, but I sure do understand your experience of it -- the live version, at least.

Thank you so much! I admit, I dont think this is my finest work, but I am thankful there is some merit to it.
