Never Push the Red Button

I was just visiting

But everything was intriguing

Looked so pleasing

Maybe all the lights were just teasing

Had such a great feeling

Was invited into the secret chamber

Took a seat next to the guy with anger

Seemed to sense danger

He asked if I was a ranger

Told him I could only arrange

He didn't keep me engaged

Nor did he seem fazed

Told me this might be the last days

Had a really serious gaze

Took a walk told me with the buttons not to play

Couldn't help noticing it

The one he specifically said not to hit

So well lit

The big one in the centre

If you touch it we shall all be in bits

When he came back to where I sat

Told me it was a fact

Wasn't sure how he would react

But now I couldn't retract

This was a consequence of how we act

Maybe we could all end up dead

Just because I touched the red

Never push the red button
