Since Indonesia was colonized by Japan for a period of time you could argue that the people fell because it inspired the color. I grew up crossing this bridge many times since my mom worked across the mainland so I think this would be a good subject for my poem.

"Painted crimson by the fallen" referencing the name "Ampera" which is a shorter version of "Amanat Penderitaan Rakyat" which roughly translates to the mandate of people's suffering.
