There is a war in the sky that creates the colors that we see.
When electrons collide with oxygen and nitrogen gas in our atmosphere, 
they energize the elements.
When said elements return to their natural state,
they emit photons.
Oxygen displays hues of red, yellow, and green.
Nitrogen gives off blues.
When I learned this, I wanted to tell you, but
I could not.
