A Band of Color

There are all kinds of rainbows Optimistic forces to pierce a rainy day As sun refuses damp demands of gloom And glorious bands of color illuminate Are we not also like the sun Make way, murky demons that shade I’ll not consent to cloud my point of view A wasteland of tomorrows waits So though my rainbow not yet gleams And somber hesitation lingers I’ll march through the showers And form a band of color of my own

Hello Mike, yes why not make a band of colors yourself. You will lie them more because you created them. Have a nice day my friend. xxxxxx-oooooo.
