IF ONLY

If only this raging war, worldwide,
were all played out on consoles,
where no-one really died.
If only teenage boys and pretty girls,
could synthesize the real world,
just blended into violent games,
upon the station of world play.

If only real warriors, did not have to die.
If only, is all that I can say,
She inhales fast,
stiff upper lip,
taking but another breath,
just to stifle her cry!
