Forbidden it was by the king that said

"Those in red, you shall hate"

For the king was law

But not the master of my fate

Oh no, only gods had that power

And with me they played

For at the river, a girl in red I met

And to her eyes a slave I was made

Of course she ran away

For my garments were of blue

But from a single look we birthed love

As young romantics often do

When the moon lit our path

We met regardless of the threat

For our love was on par

With that of Romeo and Juliet

Full of hope in our oppressed cause

We prayed to the divinity

That they would help sort the laws

Better than they helped Antigone
