Random Ramblings

Gamer's Daydream

If life was like a video game,
consequences could be fixed
by loading a previous save,
and trying again with useful knowledge.

The simplest tasks would be lucrative,
farming takes on a whole new meaning,
nobody would get lost because
the right way is always filled with enemies.

Each stranger has a quest for you
Gaining experience adds strength
plus a handy skill tree to unlock
insane physics-defying powers.

Death? Why that's only temporary
a button press, a loading screen
then we're back! But unfortunately...
you forgot to save three years ago.

Nobody gets hungry or sick,
(unless those are built-in mechanics)
Health is restored instantly
Just by walking over bandaids.

I would be someone ridiculous
an oversized sword on my back
wearing questionable clothes which
I looted from a dumpster goblin.

Give me wings, a jet pack, springs for feet,
An open world to wreak mayhem
with my friends and a villain to vanquish
after an especially difficult boss fight.

If life was a video game, would we win?
Or is it destined to be played forever
always chasing that impossible
high-score across our digital universe.
