Welcome to the Trap!

Welcome to the trap, dear friend,
Where shadows twist and whispers wend.
Put down your rage, let silence speak,
For life, at times, can seem so bleak.

It’s not a game, a slot machine,
No fleeting luck, no graceful sheen.
Yet onward we tread, no path to retract,
A journey forged in the souls we lacked.

The heavens watch, their gaze austere,
For millennia they've held us near.
Who will tread into this snare?
With such grand stakes, we hardly dare.

A handful fight, resist the night,
With righteous hearts and spirits bright.
They grow in strength, their souls refined,
Yet turmoil clings to hearts unkind.

But sinners thrive, their numbers swell,
In every nook, a tale to tell.
They drink the wine of fleeting glee,
As darkness wraps them, blissfully free.

Sinking deeper, unnoticed, blind,
Chasing desires that twist the mind.
For every choice, a price to pay,
In devil’s games, they chose to play.

They trample those with open hearts,
And weave their fate with bitter arts.
In slander’s grip, they find their bond,
While goodness wavers, dimmed, and conned.

And in the end, what have they sought?
Comfort and riches, illusions wrought?
A masquerade of earthly charms,
But welcome now, for hell disarms!

So heed this tale, take care, beware,
The trap awaits, with fading flair.
For in the shadows, truth resides -
In heart's deceit, no hope abides.
