The Gamer Bible

In the beginning god created
A blinking icon on a screen of black.
That’s when Adam, with username Eve,
Figured out how to hack.

He hacked into every computer game,
Learnt how to kill, rape, steal, he lied,
Breaking every law the computer god set,
It didn’t matter if he lived or died.

It didn’t matter because each time he died,
He was resurrected back to the start,
With every gun and weapon of choice,
Legs, arms, eyes, nose, ears, mouth and heart.

And generations have followed this guy,
Entranced by his computer game spell.
They all have different gods to worship,
From Apple to Sony to Dell.
