rainbow nation

Rainbow nation It rained and rained, fine rain but persistent  mountains dissolved, and rocks turned into sand  When the rain stopped, a smooth landscape  of peace and camel dung Before the deluge, people who had sinned were stoned to death since this was no longer possible the sinner had to eat a kilo of carrots until they turned orange and were not invited to dinner or supervised at the supermarket The authorities thought this was a good idea and  made a color program, to better classify left-wingers and radicals, making them eat cabbage till they  turned green and could not hide their socialist  tendency and forbidden to enter posh restaurants The government liked this so much that they decided to classify all classes, beetroots for the royals  deep yellow for the middle class and potato peel for the working class and pink for artists Alas, people fall in love across the color barrier their children looked like rainbows and were impossible to classify Therefore, the government declared everyone s equals, but instead build bigger prisons
