Red

What is your true color?

Oh! this burning path of rage,
Reminds me of a bloodthirsty humanity.
A race aiming for its extinction,
When they see you will they find relief.
Tell me why are we filled,
By a liquid mirroring your personality?
This rising surge of emotions,
I see you boiling so madly.
Aren't you tagged as danger?
What an existence, such a pity!
How have you even survived,
Amongst the hateful eyes of humanity.
Did you make them a slave?
Adrenaline does love your presence.
Some know you as the strong,
One that melts even the Gods.
But some do love to see, you
In the light of sheer passion.
Tell me oh slaying nobility!
Where lies your true color?

Author's Note

Just a poem addressed to the color Red!

Red is the color associated with passion, also with rage. It is likely the poet is addressing more than just a color in this work, for color is just a quality, description. Probably, the human traits associated with red are the true objects of the poem. Very few of those traits are positive. It's enough to give you the blues.

Red is the color of oppression, and poverty. Well written.

I liked your description of red. I believe red mean danger. When we see red in mind. We are in trouble. Thank you Raghib for sharing the amazing poetry. I enjoyed this one.

[Najam Us Saher]

I loved the rhyme scheme. Deep and concerned words always touch me, the way you have asked questions simply hits the readers.

Your work becomes even more beautiful when you add a pinch of physics and biology(adrenaline) to it. Nice piece

i don`t think many really know till you`re tested

[Davidgeo]

Cleverly composed. I thought of red as in rage induced bloodshed from a old timey Norse berserker, or something of that nature.
