.
Time to put away
the games that we play
that are just an escape
from a world that makes us afraid.
It was fun, but now it’s late,
the enemy is at the gate
and we’re not ready for the day
we’re lost on a false crusade.
.
Trading away
life
for simulated experience,
is the best trick
the hive
ever played.
If you can believe
that a life
in a screen
is the same,
then you’ll believe anything.
.
Turning away, now
from any adversary.
Running away from
any kind of growth.
Backing down
from every
physical challenge
is not how
this should go.
.
You think
that this life
doesn’t really matter,
so it might as well
be all about you.
You’re just helping
to enslave
your mother,
your father
and your daughter
and there’ll
be nothing you can do,
because
you made yourself
a soft enemy.
