Destruction was simply it
Bombings and crashes did their best to evade peace
Innocent lives taken
By mean and savage men,
Heartless like a fired gun
The sound of aircrafts, bombs,shots and blaring cries,
Was the new tune to a music
Red was just everywhere!

It glided on the ground profusely
Turned green grasses red
And that made the earth cry

Red! Just Red!
Enough of seeing you!

Elated whenever you seep out of a body,
Rendering it lifeless
The world was no more a bright and green territory
But a dark, smoky and red filled place

You created nightmares in a sleeper's dream
And built fear in the hearts and minds of the young
Hitler and Stalin never complained about the enormity of you spilled everywhere

But...you were wrong

Days upon days, nights after nights
It was decided that you depart from sight
Great soldiers opposed you with mighty arsenals till the combat was over

In the end, the unloved hue left the earth..
Desolate hearts were enliven
With time the earth salvaged it's natural structure alongside it's flamboyant colours.
Flowers bloomed merrily

Red is nowhere to be seen
It surrendered by bowing out,
When it was completely defeated.
