Red

Red hears jealous whispers as she steals away attention

From Black and Brown and Tan in their colorless detention

Red starts the battle cry and pours out waves of passion

She gives and gives and gives leaving stains of violent fashion

Red loves without condition, wildly and free

Less her lover be the dull and suffocating green

Paired with green she’s boring Brown that sits beneath the grass

Till she digs her way to freedom and she’s Red again at last

She’s so used to attention and aware of her own glow

That should Blue choose to ignore her, unimpressed by her show

She’d splatter everything she saw with blinding bravery

And though the world be watching, still feel neglected and unseen

She’d Red, she’s bold, she’s brilliant,

Everybody ought to know

She’s Red she’s bright she’s gorgeous

And it shows

It shows

It shows
