The Games We Play

Another world, another life,
Another adventure to be told like never before.
Whisked away, taken to another existence,
Living the events of a faraway reality.
Given the chance to explore...
Explore lands and times,
Religions and cultures, characters and beliefs.
Twisted truths, or imaginative tales.
Opening eyes to principles and ethics,
Teaching skills that can’t be taught,
Allowing creativity to flourish in an environment that can’t be recreated.
People say that they waste lives,
When in truth, they offer many.
Many characters,
Many tales,
Many lands,
Many eras.
All unreachable to a barren mind.
But what could allow for such a fruitful thing?
The pleasure of a good video game...
