The Red road

Red is the color when the fluid of life is spilled.

Red is my heart and my cheeks as I cry chilled.

Red through streets like rivers flow

How can this be? This humanity so?

Red flows from women and children what to do?

Red flowing from Black men, Brown men, Yellow men, White men too!

Stop this hatred for one another, under the skin

aren’t we all the same a human?

Red is the color that unites us all as we journey this long Red road of humanity.
