I'm definitely sure that I didn't get the actual meaning. But I figured out something else about the writing.

This piece of writing indicates a special but usual type of human nature that is 'Not obeying command' due to curiosity or something else.Excuse me if my review is misleading the actual meaning.

Thanks for the review. Don't worry about the meaning, I misrepresented the whole thing.

I've actually read something abuobt human curiosity recently. Did you know that neanderthals existed for four times longer than the standard homosapians, and yet only spread as far as Europre? They built boats but never crossed the ocean, they tamed horses but never settled past the Caucaus.
And then humans appeared, and within the first 100 thouosand years every continent was "colonized".
What for though? Can you imagine how many people had to die out at sea before someone stumbled upon Easter Island? Seems irrational, killing yourself just for a chance of something new. But hey, the neanderthals died out. Curiosity saved the cat.

Sorry for my rant, just writing down thoughts.

We always give meanings to colors like black symbolizes mourning and death. But remember that black has also positive meanings like strength and dignity. While red connotes passion and bravery, it also makes us feel bold and daring.
When red and black joined together in a lighted area, red becomes more striking than the black. In your poem, you made the word red in large font placed at the middle of the text that looks catchy tempting the readers not to read the black texts.
This can be associated with the quote "Don't judge the book by its cover". Sometimes we see something "beautiful" because they look striking outside that we forget there are better things around it.

Not exactly, but close enough! Good job, you got it.
Thanks for the review.

Wow!
Very nice
This is such a nice way of getting the message across.
Now this may not be what you were going for,
but for me
It seems to say that sometimes in life we focus too much on somethings, somethings that are out of the norm standout too much, we spend our time over it for no reason forgetting the fact that it shouldnt bother us .

I am going to be honest here, I missed the meaning. It is a very nice poem, but I am sure it would be beautiful if I could unravel the mysteries that lay inside..

Nobody guessed what I was going for yet. Care to take a shot?

[Horseluvared]

Hmm, there is a deeper meaning to everything. Or colour doesn't matter, it's what's inside that does? :3

Really enjoyable I can't say it has only one meaning lol I had trouble keeping my eyes from the red because it was being insulted...i wanted to see what was so bad lol but I forced myself to remember its not real..exactly

[Meeks]

Hmm, wasn't trying to insult red. Sorry, if it's your favorite color.
Thanks for the review, by the way.

[annalysiar]

I really enjoyed this. I like the idea of combining art and poetry. Quite an impressive thing you have done here. I look forward to reading more.

[Meeks]

Mm, I still don't regard myself as a poetry guy. Anyway, thanks for the review!

[John Elridge Medlin]

Prose guys can write poetry as well. I don't like to do it so often but every now and then its what is needed to tell the story.
