Color of life
And the color of hate.
Blood runs red
Like the crimson
Ring around the swastika
Pocket full-a ‘ganda
Ashes, ashes,
It all falls down.
A shining red blade
From a cool silver hilt.
Guilty by association
Color of a burning nation
Color of a beating heart
Of love and hate
And hunger,
Life
