Red

Jmg15 2001 (Las Piñas City)



Red is the color of the brave
Red is the life that flows
Red is the might of the victor
Against vehement foes

Red is the dress of a woman
That loves her man so dear
Red is the heart of a loving man
That wishes she is near

But red is a dangerous man
Engulfed in his own rage
His hand with a horrific clench
Destroys those who engage

Red is the soil of battlefields
Red is the blood that pours
Red is the cruel destruction
Red is the killing force

Though red is many things at once
Red is not bad nor good
Red is the sunset and sunrise times
Decide on what we would
