Red Alert

My Charms disarmed, a panic alarm-
A Signal that something's wrong
Oh, how I fear I'll fall to harm,
And question where I belong

All the talk, their root and stalk
Grows in Sadists' soil
We planted seeds in wicked weeds,
And were fruitful with our toil
Alerted, deserted; no method asserted-
While vile vines uncoil!

We are growing within a field of weeds and yet we do not allow the gardner access.

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to convey or express with this piece; I guess I was hoping other people's interpretations would help me find out what I'm trying to get out
