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.
