Remote control killing




too long on the playsation
x box
your appetite
has bled over to the killing fields
for real.
target ceased to beĀ  a human being
everything is in infrared
and the intended are white insects
your communication and the people
with whom you interact
are cold and clinical
the spectacle the perfect example
of cynical planners
intent on remote control killing
you no longer grapple
with the white of the warriors eyes
you press the button from 2 thousand miles
and wipe him out in a cloud
a crater
a pebble dropped in a pond base
spreads a dust cloud
in clear water
it looks like that.

Remote control killing
Technically advanced
Easy at the push of a button
Thumb glanced controls
So easy
No sounds
All silent
No killing sound all
Silent
Splash
Buddy one
Splash
Next generation killing
Spy plane
Chemical dust
Awac radar trust us
We place munitions and ordnance
With one metre precision
The sycophants to colonel killing
No feelings
All electronic
They are working on an artificial feeling machine..
soon
So that they can switch off any doubting soldier
At the appropriate moment.

So true...
and a bit scary for some children who are exposed to these 'games' at a young age...
how playing these types of virtual games can desensitise them to real life violence...

HI Peter, So true, there is a place in Colorado, I have read and seen a show about. Yes remote control planes, I wrote a poem on that a while back, guess you missed it. If they can rid themselves of people, they can make more money. I see that some day it could be programed , no need of humans at all.The world is a sick shit hole, run by the rich few scum bags.good poem
