RAINBOW RED

A flash of life before my eyes

A night of sadness and regrets

Bad memory of a life gone by

Not knowing what behind the door

Friends, Lovers fall to the floor

A celebration lost forever more

Rainbow Red

Remembered today

Forgotten tomorrow

The tears numb the pain

Time heals all wounds

Love will remain the same

As political creatures placing blame

Crawling on the ground for the NRA’s loose change

Holding back progress to a newer day

It does not matter

Father, Mother, Sister, Brother

Friends and special lover

All these children fallow the same rainbow path

Rainbow Red

Here today

Gone tomorrow

The tears will dry

The wound will scar

Love will remain in the heart

If love and peace was profitable

There would be no need for memorials
