RED

Red

A little love a little heart it is all a little red

As is little blood and a little danger and a little dead

A pretty red ribbon on a present leads to a smile so bright

A sassy red dress with the hem too high leads to a mother daughter fight

A red droplet of blood on the desk, the symptoms of a paper cut

A larger pool next to a corpse, the symptom of extreme blood lust

A bouquet of red roses in a florist’s shop, just waiting to make someone’s day

A small red ball in a happy Labrador’s mouth when he goes to play

A red skull on the electricity box to keep innocent kids alive

The red button on the x box that helps you survive

The red lipstick on a woman’s lips that make lonely men sigh

The busy button pressed during an incoming call when we tell a little lie

A juicy red apple in the Garden of Eden symbolizing the original sin

The red traffic light on the roads that keep accidents a little thin

The red bra of the hooker who he pays to fill his time

The red anger on the driver’s face when he has to pay a fine

The Red hot iron just before it takes a blow

The red hot chilly peppers when their songs begin to flow

The bright red cherries on a little girl’s frock

The bright red flags waved on a foggy dock

The red tube of toothpaste in a cup next to the sink

The delicious smell of my finest wine, I drink.

The red nail polish on the girl who’s trying to make a statement

The red ribbon express, roaming India and fulfilling their commitment

The loud red bellbottoms that once used to be famous

The red correction marks in our homework, left there to shame us.

The smooth red strokes of acrylic paint on an artist’s wall

It may be good, it may be bad but red, it is all!
