Rainbows No More

Rainbows no more,
All we see is gore

The happiness we knew
Disappeared when the cold wind blew

The war we’ve fought 
Was acted upon with no thought

The Oppressor’s rule
Has turned us into tools.

Here we stand, together, looking for a way
To avoid the descending grey.

This is where greed has brought us,

Here we stand with
Rainbows no more.
