Dungeon and Lazarus
Surely all who play at video
have dived a dungeon, glad it’s all in fun:
unending corridors of cross-barred sun
beset by devil-beasts, a rodeo
where they’re the cattle. Often there’s no gold,
or spell or lawyer to affect release–
just mocking jailors whose taunts just increase
as they grow sick and prematurely old.
Some die with no lives left, no magic fix
for accusations never brought to trial,
their only hope to rise from durance vile
is pardon... like the heroes of J6.
