Internet Fight For Life

He thought he was big, he thought he was tough, 
He thought he could fight everyone.
In his mind he could punch, he could parry and swerve,
His fists were his own machine gun.

He never felt pain, not a scratch, or an ache, 
No graze nor blood, nor a bruise.
In his mind he was the invincible, bulletproof guy, 
The only guy to wear untouchable shoes.

He killed for no reason, just shot without care, 
Shot anyone who got in his way.
He believed that he was utterly invincible, 
It would never be him who would pay.
 
And then one day his internet crashed, 
He lost all the fighter credits he had gained.
In a tantrum and rage he punched his glass screen, 
His dead body was found all blood stained.

Very well done, I didn't see it coming and when it did, I laughed, then thought, no, some players have probably been this intense. I enjoyed the tale, the deep thought whether intended or not, the rhyme scheme ... you know, the whole poem ... CayCay
