Parenting Through GTA

Parenting Through GTA

We own two Xbox Ones so we can play
together, Grand Theft Auto, mode: online.
Good parenting, there may be other ways.
Together, with my son, we spend some time.

Not only we, but sometimes, too his friends.
Earn in-game cash in ways, nefarious.
In fiction, we pursue illegal ends.
Some aspects of the game, hilarious.

Avoid misogynistic elements.
They really aren’t what makes this game so great.
Aware of simulated violence.
We all know that the haters gonna hate.

One weekend, Cormac’s friend to spend the night.
Was he and Noah formed a joint intent.
No playing ‘til the early morning’s light.
Would only play until their somnolence.

They raced, did missions, stealing cars and planes.
With Noah playing with my character.
At first, not as familiar with game.
His practice made him a competitor.

The cash he earned for me, the thousands count,
in hundreds, I soon knew there was enough.
How I could use that cash, such great amount?
With cash, in-game, I want to buy cool stuff.

The cash he earned, enough, I must explain
for me to buy some in-game capital.
Facility where I can make cocaine.
Our in-game morals must be flexible.

I purchased, too, a Motorcycle Club.
I made myself initial President.
My empire, criminal, this as its hub.
The distribution means I implement.

So thanks to Noah, I now generate
some passive cash achieved through industry.
By contrast, morals, I elucidate.
Some application to reality.
