Rainbow People

Rainbows Resemble Us People of the earth, we are a rainbow. The colors, we resemble We start within the earth And climb high into the sky Reaching toward the clouds of heaven Our colors intermingle, Into blurred hues, We coexist, Complementing each other at every angle Created by a prism with refraction the key We are so similar yet we are all not free But as we descend, back down to our humble beginnings We see the pot of gold, where we will all melt together Our differences no longer substantial, But were they really ever, Our opinions to be heard, not lain on deaf ears, Our skin the same color, with our eyes tightly shut, The colors we began with no longer matter The truth we have yet to see, For we all have the same fate To become the treasure of this world Its people, come together as one The rainbow now lacks the tyranny, treachery and shame We have embraced since our creation Our legacy we have maimed The gifts we have for one another Are hidden in a mental illness Soon to be deciphered, so as all to see The beauty in this rainbow Every color, hue and shade, My wish would be for all to see As a child first looks with magic in their eye At the gift that we receive When a rainbow blesses our sky
