RedRudimentary chivalry, loyalty, gallantry,Pledging honour, life and sword, The Scarlet Caste of Warriors with innate pride, Cowards poisoned blades abhorred. Wielding their weapons fiercely, defending their homes, Fight for their right to live free, Protecting possessions from the onslaught of foes, Battles faced with bravery. Blood red ka-la-na, poured from bota to crater, Trickling and swirling around, Eyes, which hold secrets, minds storing tales, swords, held fast, Aware of every strange sound. Slashed on their faces, with yellow, with black and with blue, Courage�s red scar is higher, Red silked girls bringing pleasure to garrulous Masters, Dancing and proving their fire. �What unseen thing is more beautiful than diamonds?� The riddle once more unfolds, �Silent but deafening thunder, depressing no scale, Yet is weightier than gold?� Flaminium, five petal�d, vibrant, scarlet flower, Survives the suns harsh embrace, Displays its beauty, right until the final hour, With an all-consuming grace. |
