What is Red?

Red is passion

It is love and affection

It is the stolen kisses in the night from a lover

And the radiating heat between two bodies

Red is loud

It is the shrieking laughter of children in a park

It is the piercing giggles after a hysterical joke

And it is the boisterous singing during a happy occasion

Red is anger

It is the swirling screams amidst an argument

It is the long fingernails that point at you accusingly with disgust

It is the spilled paint on an important document you were holding for your boss

Red is pain

It is the last breath of a loved one

It is the drunken mind trying to drown out his feelings

It is the final cut of a vein to end it all forever

Red is complex

It is comprised of both good and bad

It is what some hate, and other's love

Our world is red. We are red.
