Danger Signs
Your friendship with my enemy
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of attackers is no friend of mine.
Your friendship with my betrayer
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of renegades is no friend of mine.
Your friendship with my assassin
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of murderers is no friend of mine.
Your closeness with my deceivers
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of perjurers is no friend of mine.
Your friendship with my intruder
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of assailants is no friend of mine.
Your support of my beguiler
is a dangerous sign.
A friend of hypocrites is no friend of mine.
