Red War

Red is the colour of bloody war.
Red is the colour of the poppy full of so many memories.
Red is the colour of blood pumping through our veins.
Red is the colour of pure dark cold hearts.
Red is the colour of blood falling to the floor in torture.
Red is the colour of war........
the red cruel war was death of my grandfather, even though he made it back and lived an extra 60 years but the toxic gas is the thing that killed him, he couldn't handle it, and the memories destroyed him inside....
I hate the red cruel war.
