Red Flags
I see red flags waving. I see danger signs.
I see paths you're paving.
I read between the lines.
I see red flags waving. I see wanton lust.
I see things you're craving.
I sense forsaken trust.
I see red flags waving. I see selfish need.
I see hoards you're saving.
I count incessant greed.
I see red flags waving. I see hostile eyes.
I see words you're raving.
I hear horrific lies.
I see red flags waving. I see restive verve.
I see ways you're slaving.
I find audacious nerve.
