My Fear of Hell
I fear physical death because I may just go…
To the scorching yard of God's enemies
Where I will be slave to diabolic royalties
Like an acolyte of Warcraft Undead who summon atrocities!
To the spiritual crematorium of demons who rape
Where I will be prisoner to a jail of no escape
Like Prometheus of Greek Myth as mournful as a crape!

*My Fear of Death Collection
I'm addicted.
I must confess
to my everyday unrest
waiting on the internet to play
Candy Crush and Juicy Jam and old Tetris ways.
Keep your League of Legends
Minecraft, Warcraft, Counterstrike
the tasks of life are tough enough
and all I ask is just a little foolish laugh
Stupid, goofy, mindless and silly should rule.
In World of Warcraft
I have a cool character
I claim him the best
He can romp, rave with many
And kill hundreds of creatures
Mighty powerful
He can conquer bands of foe
And kill the undead
What benefit does this game
Surely do to my ego
Corruption inside
Is what I sure think happens
When what is undone
This game hurts more than it helps
I am unbeatable now…
