did my apprenticeship on the xbox
i fine tuned those skills on playstation
i'm at the top of my class of electronic arts
i'm now proudly serving my nation
now i'm a fearless remote aviator
eating soup in West Nebraska
fragging EC’s in another land
another fearless remote aviator
waging my nervous war on the wire
it don’t matter if i tire
they’ve got another to take over
got the highest simulation score in my class
everyone knows that i’m no fool
but do you know how to tell the difference
between a weapons plant and a primary school?

Oh wow! I love how this transitioned from hobbies to a career but those last lines made the reality slam home. Great work as always, never disappointed :)
I love the last 2 lines. Murder by remote is so chilling. No sting … no viscera… no … conscience. Great job.
I love this...like Spawn Point...the mix of real life war and computer games references makes it very stirring and drives that last point home so well. Bravo, Brenton!
Omggg, that last line hit me so hard in the gut! Loved your poem!
