Call Me Red

Call me red as it’s your colour too
I am talking of blood and not you

It’s your nation and not you
That makes my colour look new

So why kill me? as it’s your colour too
And I'm no different from you

It’s my race and not my face
Which separates  me from you

 So call me red as it’s your colour too
I am talking of blood and not you
