RED

(I saw a battle today and this is what flowed)

Colours I saw today

Colours of red and purple

Colours of red against purple

Engulfed by the brown and the blues.

 

Battle plans drawn

Bow’s strung

Swords awaiting

Fire lit, Everything ablaze

waiting..

 

Awaiting, as the unconcerned hour arrives

Battle conches blown

The arrows finding its home, The swords its mates, The fire soothing

And the red.. overpowering it all.. the browns, the blue and the purple.. the passionate red flows.

 

Compassion lost

Again, we go through the same, The flowing of red

Breaking of hearts, empty homes, worse empty souls..

Ashes remain and seeds of hatred sown!

 

Why do we make such an investment, I question

Why do we make it?

When the costs are so high

The costs are so high, don’t you see?
