"Tetris"
In the great
"Game of Life"
You were both
Author and player.
Infamous, and yet
Cruelly anonymous.
That Russian chap
That invented “Tetris”.
Quite a claim,
Should fame have not
Proven so fickle.
"Game Over" tugs at all of us - it must;
As ashes turn to ashes, dust to dust.
We watched your casket lowered, saw it sway;
The all-enveloping earth engulfed its prey...
...then, half the bloody cemetery disappeared.
