Failure

the rainbow glooms dark and dreary
across the foreboding sky
spreading its colorful illusions
day after day

blue representing depression and sadness
green representing departure and decay
yellow representing ignorance and feebleness
red representing anger and battle
orange representing indifference and failure

an assortment of many different colors
all in one body or rather in one soul
created by a mundane power
with a sick sense of humor

one moment the sun is shining
making you feel grand 
and giving you all that you need

then the next moment clouds
and gloom set in
moments after, the rainbow soars
into the dark sky
throwing sadness, decay, ignorance,
anger, and failure
throught he sky at all in its path
not caring whats hit or what
consequences it may have 
as long as it hits good and 
hard
its satisfied
