Video Game Recruits

on watching Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction video game commercial

I am Sam, and I feel powerful,
video stick in hand, with a video woman
at my command, and a playground
of destruction. I can flip a coin,
see what to destroy, then blow
not one, but both buildings
anyway. My video woman knows
there's no way to save the world
without a little explosion.

With a press of a button
I do a charity drop:
a little food in cans, or clothes
in a box, all in an effort
to save Syrac.

But a good mercenary
like my video woman knows,
with her neck-breaking biceps
and bulging breasts, that bombs
and machine guns are the first
to assist a country in need;
questions are second,
along with mouths to feed.

I end the game with another charity drop:
a few video games and a new X-box;
what I know already I'll teach the kids
in Syrac: there's no way to save the world
without a little destruction.
