Red Flagged - Within The Ruins

War screamed from your mouth

as we sat and watched patiently

while madness began taking over.

This was a red flag screaming

we were cast out and ignored,

and then the bullets began streaming.

I can lift my hand and make it all new again.

I can speak one word and you will never hear again.

I send plagues of weapons to eliminate your kind.

But we never asked, we never asked for this.

We do not fear what you have done,

we fear what you have become.

Try to save yourselves.

When it rains, it will pour

dissolve all, all of our reckoning.

A spark of deviance

will shatter any glimmer of hope

and all will become submissive.

This is what we feared,

I’ll be your architect of doom.
