you see a video in which
the bad guys hold the floor,
where helpless people die
a dime-a-dozen death
and you forget
it is just a magnetic tape or disk
has brought these figures
to their nameless destiny
the bad guys may be amiable actors
privately
in your illusion's grip
these people really die
and you
do nothing
for their lives, their souls
not even push
the saving button
on your remote control
