I heard it call,
I heard it scream,
All the noises and the tears.
Red was all I saw
Painting the floors and the wall
Shouts and cries engulfing me
Begging mercy mercy please
I closed my eyes, covered my ears
Wanting to be far and nowhere near.

But don't you think it rings a bell?
Red is the colour of LOVE as well
Which taught us humans how to care
And taught us humans how to share
It fulfilled the needs of Beauty and the Beast
It made Romeo Juliet's forever indeed
Made friendship of Mogli and Bhaaloo stuck in our memories
It is LOVE a land of opportunities.

Nowadays things have changed
Symbolism of Red is not the same
Where people used to love one's life,
Is replaced with guns and swords and knife.
Crimes and deaths have maximised
Entire humanity is traumatised
Destruction by man is at its peak
But we refuse to see and refuse to speak.

Please STOP this chase ,
Mend you ways.
Clean your brain,
And choose right lane.
Because I can't change it alone, I don't have it in me.
But can't we together become what WE USED TO BE?
