It was years ago, as a fully grown boy, I, was jumping in the street and I
Was clobbered by, a car into a window
That was when I saw, a game boy advance, S-P-, blue edition
But my family, can barely afford gold
As I stared at him, into his eyes... he said, “Mom, mamaaa”, as he held it in his tiny hands...
I started running and I screamed, and, shoved him to the ground, took, that GBA from he...
Got inside, my house, with a big, smelly handle, snuck past all my parentals
And then I blew my candle out
As I pressed the boooton with my feenge, did not, know, what it’d, bring me...
But as the screen lit up with colors, my heart began to race
I was transported to a world of adventure, in a different place
I played for hours on end, forgetting all my woes
Lost in a world of pixels and heroes
But as the days went by, guilt began to creep
I couldn't shake the feeling, that I had sown seeds deep
I had hurt a small child, just for a game
And now I had to live with that shame
So I made a vow, to never again let greed control me
To always remember the consequences of my actions, you see
And though I still enjoy my games, I do so with a lesson learned
That kindness and compassion should always be returned.
