Will You Click Too?

I draw you in from the start

Grasping your attention

With my visually appealing art

Hoping to keep your retention

My title sells you a dream

That I hope to make your reality

It's just an easy scheme

Don’t question my morality

I already got you here

Another statistic you’ve become

Your intrigue makes it clear

You have to walk before you run

Maybe if you play along

I’ll give you what you want

Baby don’t get me wrong

I’m not one to flaunt

You’ve walked into my trap

Will you see that it's a mirage

Can’t find the X on the map

There’s no mistaking the barrage

Is it my fault

That I fool you so easily

It now runs on default

The algorithm rewards me supremely

Maybe you will learn

How to finally get rich quick

Or your final lesson, until you discern

Think before you click
