Quicksand

A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF QUICKSAND WAITS
IT IS DISGUISED AND LOOKS NORMAL TO BAIT.
DARING TRAVELERS TO WALK ACROSS AND
CHALLENGE THIS SAND WHERE SOME MEET THEIR FATE
TO TAKE THE AIR THAT YOU BREATHE
SLOWLY IT DROWNS AND YOUR BODY IT WILL SQUEEZE
SWALLOWING ALL OF YOU WITH GREATEST EASE
PULLING YOU DOWN IT PARALYZES YOU WITH NO SOUND.
NO MERCY OR BEGGING IT WILL HEAR
IT IS BLIND TO EVERYONE'S FEAR
A HOLD THAT WILL NOT SET YOU FREE
IF ALONE, NO ONE WILL HEAR YOUR SCREAMS
A GRASP TOO POWERFUL TO BREAK
ONCE YOU STEP IN THEN IT IS TOO LATE
TO TAKE YOUR LIFE AND SUFFER ITS WRATH
INSIDE THIS PIT THERE IS NO TURNING BACK
OUT IN THE OPEN SOMETIMES IT LAYS
YOU WILL NOT KNOW AND NOT ONE SIGN WILL SHOW
UNTIL YOUR SINKING AND TRAPPED DOWN YOU WILL GO
RISKING TO VENTURE PLACES UNKNOWN
HEED THIS WARNING-
YOU SHOULD NEVER WALK ALONE.
IF YOU STUMBLE UPON THIS UNFORGIVING SAND
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HELPING HAND.
A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF QUICKSAND WAITS
DO NOT LET IT SEAL YOUR FATE.
