Red

Red is the colour of a flaming fire destroying our bushland.
Red is the colour of the painful sunburn on your shoulders.
Red is the colour of evil down in the dark alley.
Red is the colour of the devil burning down below.
Red is the colour of sand and the rocks at sunset.
Red is the colour of death waiting at your door.
Red is the colour of your cheeks on a really hot day.
