Blood and Poppies

Blood is the sign that someone was born living. It is not harmful at all, not by itself. However, most everyone is terrified of blood, and most everyone pays attention to it. Poppy seeds, or opium, on the other hand, are meant to put one to sleep. They say that they may even be more dangerous than yew berries if one overdoses on them. However, most no-one is afraid of them, and most no-one cares for them. Gerard Way, a 14 year old in 9th grade, is much like blood. He isn’t harmful, he isn’t terrifying, and he isn’t dangerous, but for some reason, he isn’t liked much and most people pay negative attention to him. Frank Iero, another 14 year old in 9th grade, is more like poppy seeds. He can be harmful, he can be terrifying, and he can be dangerous, and for those reasons, he also isn’t liked much and most people don’t care for him. Blood and poppies - they are almost polar opposites. But there is something in common that they have; a simple one that most people would overlook. They are both red. Could it be the same with the two boys, who represent either blood or poppies?
