The horror that I witness
during my "liberation"
is very real indeed
they say each step
descends you further into madness
out here, there are no rules.
I'm but a solitary soldier
wandering through a wasteland,
endless fields of neon green,
a shimmering ocean segregated
in the background.
But i'm not sight seeing
i have a mission, a fat man,
the dictator, execute with extreme prejudice.
What he's done to this world.......
It's enough to make wanna throw up.
TOP RIGHT! COCONUT!
RUN!!! RUN!!!
Theres a damn monkey
in the far right, 2 o'clock
in the palm tree, waiting
I should have seen him
he's movin' far too fast
to see properly, I have
to get this jump just
right, too high
and i'll overshoot him,
too low and he'll get
me, it's pointless to
think, It's all up to
chance. I jump...
POP! The monkey meets an abrupt end
at the hands of my feet.
A little blue bird emerges from a puff of smoke,
I stand in the field for a while
feeling the ground beneath my feet,
filled with nothing but the feeling of pure self satisfaction.
I take a deep breathe
and move on.
Good God i loved that game.
