Winning losers in the game of life.

The final level is always unlocked.

The player cannot save the game's progress.

Game overs without any undos or respawns.

You cannot  play the same level.

You cannot skip any battle.

You cannot earn experience without losing.

Not all achievements are worth  collecting.

Golden trophies are made of tears.

Treasures are made of pain.

You can never reset your stats and start all over.

The game is playable but not winnable. 

All players are doomed to be forgotten.

Every player is an NPC from the POV of the other player.

Every journey must come to an end.

Every debt must be paid.

Every side quest must be completed.

The moment your progress reaches 100%, the game becomes dull.

Game overs are new beginnings in unknown games of new dimensions.

Don't be afraid of losing.

Don't be excited about winning.

Because all players are winning losers.

Ενδιαφέρον είναι. Προοδευτικοί (συσσωρευτικοί) αφορισμοί. Αρκετά άκαμπτοι, κατά τη γνώμη μου, για ν' αποτελούν στίχους.. Διαβάζοντάς το, περίμενα τον τελευταίο για να αποφασίσω αν πρόκειται για ποίημα ή όχι. Η προσδοκία μου δεν επαληθεύτηκε. Σε τι διαφέρει ένας αφορισμός από έναν επιτυχημένο, αυτοτελή στίχο; Κατά τη γνώμη μου και πάλι, είναι αυτό το είδος χάρης/χαριτωμένου, αυτό που εμπεριέχει καλά κρυμμένα αποσιωπητικά και δυνατότητες περαιτέρω ερμηνειών/συνειρμών και τά την ανάγνωση. Επίσης ο συντονισμός ανάγνωσης με την αναπνοή του αναγνώστη. Ο εσωτερικός ρυθμός.

     Καλή προσπάθεια πάντως.
