Rainbow

Red
Blood spilling from the body
A child, only trying to cross the road
A car is coming
death predicted, inevitable
Fate

Orange
A beautiful sunset 
as it sinks beneath the peaks of trees
It shows day has passed
Darkness creeps in
New life takes over
Colors change to black and grey
Evil

Yellow
An innocent daisy mixed with blood 
A necessary component 
To lighten up sinister red
Into the calamity of orange
A medium

Green 
A reptile
Scales of green cruelty
Survival
A dragging undertow,
Can you swim?

Blue
Water
Reflected from the sky
Clear in reality
90% of the human body
The part that makes blood run

Indigo
A lighter shade of purple
Color of lilacs
Weak, frail
Dying quickly
Short lived

Violet
A lone flower
Pulling upwards from the earth
Seeing sunlight
Growth

Rainbow of life
