Colors

red 
the color of blood
their blood
orange 
the color of the setting sun
marking another day of fighting
green
the color of grass
the grass they walked on
blue
 the color of the sky
who's always there
brown
the color of their guns
their only protection
grey
the color of the moods
of all the wounded soldiers
gold
the color of the trumpet
signaling freedom
