062 - Game

If life were a computer game

Would you still act just the same?

Or would you load a save

And become sick and depraved?

If life were a simulation

Would it spoil your concentration?

Or would it shake you to the core

To try for a better score?

If life were meaningless

Would this cause a lot of stress?

Would you just surrender

And jump into a blender?

If life were just binary

Would this destroy your finery?

Would the fact that you were code

Cause you to overload?

Does it matter anyway

If you’re just pixels on display?

Your aim should be success

And always try your best
