Reverse the Konami

Beware - all is not as it seems
And all carries with it its risk.

Real life is not that easy to compare,
It doesn't give you all that fun and joy.
Get power ups is all the special flair -
High score and now you want to shout "Oh boy!"
The new achievements are so very cool,
Let go of all your current obligates,
Ere you won't be complete and utter fool;
For now you must have all the shiny stats.
Thousand and one; the stats under the sun;
Real life is dead after all you have had.
In game is dead after all you have done.
Good thing there's another game - you're mad.
Heed to this cautionary anecdote,
That you won't go with the defaulter's vote.

Let's see you all go into lime,
Ere you have now found thing sublime
For you've found a game
That looks like your name.

Don't worry 'bout what you've reap,
Or all your foll'ers like sheep.
Watch for your head,
Now it's time for bed;

Don't you know all about the latest trend?
On how to properly attack, defend.
We can be the best;
Now we pass the test;

Until we sacrifice family and friend.
Plenty of loss of your sleep
Until you have lost all your time.
Please pull the plug.
