Minecraft Poem Goes Viral: Teen's Creative Take on Water and Lava

A Belarusian teenager, known online as "Санёк", recently shared a short video where he recites a self-written poem about water and lava in the video game Minecraft. The poem, which he titles "Water and Lava," uses the game's elements to create a simple contrast between the helpfulness of water and the destructive nature of lava. "Water helps the gardens, always," he reads from his notes, "or in the construction of the portal, it also helps." However, he adds, "Lava is very hot, it burns everything in Minecraft, but only netherite it cannot burn." The video, uploaded on May 30th, 2025, has garnered a modest number of views and likes, indicating a limited reach. While the video showcases creativity, its appeal remains primarily to Minecraft enthusiasts and poetry lovers. The video serves as a testament to the creative expression found in unexpected places, even within the digital world of gaming.
