Pressing a Button is Pragmatic

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.
