The clouds are dingy
beyond the prairies
At the edge of vision
The brilliant vistas
have serene details
effaced
The gentle breezes
that pass by
Whisper
They whisper lies
And the content of the arcades
should make you cringe
But you shudder
with elation
I shall not break this party
Though I’ve been to wonderland
I will remember the lore
But if I’d wish a thing
I’d wish you don’t try
For your sake
Don’t try
It’s a well-lit glamorous hole
Don’t try
It’s a rabbit hole

There are so many shiny objects and shiny candidates luring us into the “promised” land. I agree with your warnings.
