A society of voyeurs
Pretend warriors
Living through another persons life
with the safety of a proxy
Having no moxie
To face the world's strife
In illusions they live
With little to give
A life without meaning
They would rather watch a show
Than to know
Such fantasy is demeaning

Thank you for your encouragement
I love your AAB rhyme scheme! Anyway, "pretend warriors'--video games. "Having no moxie to face the worlds strife"---Actually that could pertain to a lot of people but I think you are referring to social media here.....This is a great poem!!--Christina
Thank you for your review and insightful comments.
I have 'met' these 'people' online in various guises. Keyboard warriors and trolls they are often named.
Great original poetry here, i've not seen this subject covered before. Good one!
Thank you so much for your review and kind words.
I can relate to this this poem,with the myriad of reality television shows that we are inundated with here in the states. Survival in the wilderness (with or without clothes, with or without other people), buying beachfront property, rehabbing houses, and on and on ad nauseam. Thank you for this well deserved jab, very well penned.
