The floor is made of lava*
It’s a well known childhood fact:
If you want to survive you jump and leap
you do anything to avoid crashing into
the volcanic and scorching stream.
Then as children grow they test their luck
they believe in their invincibility,
and don’t proceed with caution to molten rock
that has the power to make them scream.
As those same dumb and naive children
race onward towards adulthood
they crash down to the magma ground,
they plunge directly into the pain.
