Free Cheese For the Mouse Is a Trap
Free cheese for the mouse is a trap
As you squeeze your hand
You demand a “pill” in order to fulfill your day!
Your world seems open
As your blood flows, your action shows
The deceit of the trap and
A fraction of your mind is lost!
The cost involves your own sanity
But for you the entire world is vanity.
You claim you have tranquillity
As you crave, the drug makes you brave and
You behave in a way beyond your ability!
Your addiction is based on what we call “free cheese”
As you squeeze the pill in your hand
You become one of the crowd
You feel so proud of yourself but
You did not know that it was a trap that was set up and
You fell for it just like a little mouse
Free cheese will kill you.
