sorenbarrett

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

        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

          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!

            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.
