Cheat Codes

Cheat Codes

A Poem by The Silent Butterfly
"

For you gamers, and anyone else.

"
Your life? 
Nothing but a game. 

And like all games 
there are cheats 
Not the codes 
Not the simple, easy 
one, two, three 
pick five numbers and you're free 

You bend the rules 
bend them until they are broken 
You lie 
lie until you know of no honesty 
You steal 
steal until the world is yours 
left empty handed 

Unfortunately 
there is no cheat 
to make you invincible 
No cheat 
to give you unlimited lives 

You get one chance 
This is your one and only 
Your first and last 

And no one is proud to have beaten a game 
relying on the 
Cheat codes.
