Simulation, Stimulation

Simulation, Stimulation,
Living in our minds,
It helps us to enjoy ourselves;
It helps us to unwind.

No matter that it isn't real,
And that we have been tricked,
It truly seems that it's to be
The life that most have picked.

We grew up playing Pac Man;
Before that it was Pong,
And then when we grew tired of them,
Along came Donkey Kong.

Simulation, Stimulation,
Everywhere we look,
We try to live without it, but
We find that we are hooked.

We think that we should take a hike,
Or walk down by the sea,
Instead we'd rather stay at home
And watch it on TV.

Let's hope we soon grow sick and tired,
Of looking at the 'tube',
But maybe it just took this time
To get us in the mood,

To get ourselves up off the couch;
Go see the world around us,
And when we do, I know that it
Will awe; inspire; astound us.
