Scarlet
Scarlet,
the color of our sins.
The color behind the eyes
of lustful men
The color of pride
And promiscuity
The color my soul bleeds
Because I am in need..
Scarlet,
the color that burns in most souls
Ugly like hell
Yet, glitters like gold
Scarlet makes me try
to fit into that mold
Of conceptual beauty
That shallow eyes behold
Scarlet blazes like flames
Yet feels ice cold
Scarlet sweeps the land
As the mystery unfolds
Scarlet covers our women
And controls our men
Scarlet even lingers
In the minds of our kids
Scarlet, you deceive many,
But you don't fool me.
Scarlet is the color
Of the enemy
