Caught in a snare
Besides the cradle
Even being a rat
I writhed like a snake
Damn these humans
I knew so well
Damn their ways
which I had seen so well
my last escape had been so perfect
missing the snare by inches of neglect
I knew that I wont come back
I knew I wont let my greed attack
Oh these people
who are smart like hell
Oh my glutton
it overcame even death lull
Stupid stomach
see what you have done
Stupid brain
why din't you intervene
Bloody cheese
what makes you so wanted
Bloody cheese
what makes you enchanted
I forgot that I have a head to save
I forgot that there are things so strange
for which even the stomach should wait
But what can I do to cry for the past
I can just wait till my last breath lasts
Oh here he comes with a brick so big
In a few minutes I would be reduced to wick
I am closing my eyes with all my strength
Cause I just can't see him squashing my health
Hey whats happening
I still am safe
Hey the child is laughing
from the confines of the cradle
The man is watching at the child so pure
A smile is pouting at the man who had an evil galore
He is opening the snare for me
He is helping so that I be free
What a perfect escape
for my chance to run
I would never come back
for the greed so big
so off I go
with my saved head
so off I go
for a life so good
But hey let me just take the cheese
one last time
let me just take the cheese
one last time

Life is so analogus to this rat's tale.
We mostly mess up things by going the wrong ways,following vices,evils and end up at the wrong place.
But life gives us chances to come out of everything,to start afresh.
But as Captain Patch says:
"Habit is the second nature of man.
A dew rain drops,a few intimidations are enough for us to fall back and give in to those vices."
But thats where the test comes,to stay away from that enchanted block of cheese,to stay away from listening to the stomach.
Although sounds right and logical but as Max payne says:
"Logic IS the biggest liar".
I couldn't agree to him more.
So might be one last time....

You've captured the cut and thrust of life nicely here. We make mistakes, but there's always a way out, if we choose.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anthony.

I liken the child's influence over the rat's demise to the Lord's grace. Very nicely done.
