Red and Black

Red is the color of blood

and the hue of love

Murder and lust

the story goes bust

Passion and pain

it's all the same

The stain of cherries
cascades bittersweet

The heart eventually

bleeds out

as the veins run dry

Screeching rats are born
from the womb of poverty

while the elite old guard
keeps denying
their own mortality

They all get to exist
before they finally die 

Black is the color then

my way too temporary friends
