Red (white and blue)

Red:

The color of blood

The color of the hearts that are going to be ripped out

ripped out and thrown aside.

Red,

the color this country became

as of... yesterday?

 

White:

the color of the ones who get to lead

the ones who get to celebrate

unless that is, if you're white and gay

White,

the opposite of the color of me

The color who allowed this to be.

 

Blue:

the color of the tears I have to shed,

as I watch the ones closest to me get taken;

leaving because of how this country has been made.

Blue,

the color of an emotion

The emotion that will lead to hate.
