Rainbow Man

The Rainbow Man 

There was a man, who built a massive kaleidoscope,
I think he was a borderline communist looking for 
equality amongst colours…then he walked in to it. 
He was so enthralled by his finding that, yes indeed 
all are different but very equal, even white and black 
had an important place in the scale of shades. 

He didn’t come out to eat thought he could eat hues 
instead, which according to him, in his colour induced? 
delirium, tasted as marmalade on fresh loaf; so he was
left in his heaven and forgotten. Years later when he 
was found they discovered, a pink skeleton wrapped in 
non conformity.
