Effect of Red

December 20, 2016

Red,
From anger
Fills one’s face.
A Constant
Rush-
Excitement,
Compels one to act
Immediately,
Never thinking about the consequences,
The moment is just too
Engaging;
Leading to more
Red
Being shown.

Wounds
Seemingly too
Red
To heal.
Scrapes from falling
On the rocky
Concrete road.
Only an accident.
Infections
prey on the open
Flesh exposed.

Only feelings of
Unparalleled pain.
The victim
Screams for mercy.
Vividly,
One could see,
The bright oozing
Red.


The author's comments:

Naturally red is a color that gets one's attention or drives them to do something. Red is used all the time to keep people active, and to capture their attention whether it is used in commericial things or used on a stop sign; etc. So I wanted to capture what red is by using these gruesome or violent senarios, things that people can relate to.
