Scarlet

Your brilliant scarlet color
Is what we can see
Breathing lightly, deeply
Follow them down
Down to the ground
Where the scarlet and green
Lay sodden and forgotten
As more red leaks
From the bodies on the hill
The forgotten little bodies
Weighed down by sorrow
Dripping scarlet colors
From deep inside themselves
Your brilliant scarlet color
Lay us down
Lay us down
Our little bodies drenched
In what our minds eye saw
Dripping scarlet color
Dripping scarlet color
