Blue, Red, Green, Back, White, and Yellow
Each is a representation of something
Each having their weights
We used to look up to them
Now we yell at them
But the weight grows
Every day they carry it
to make sure we are protected
and safe
They give us hope in the darkest times
and that glimmer of hope lights the weight slightly
but it never leaves
No one understands the weight
until the badges have black ribbons on them
and one is put up to rest.
