Rainbow's Underbelly

Murky shadows slink around the darkened rainbow like black eels embracing the dish hi-lighting mankind’s testes. As today Man’s testicles still hold the world hostage and reveal the slow moving continuum slithering toward the world’s fate. Flames and chaos surround Man's prayers while searching for God. Man stares at His face looking to find his own, but knowing God is vindictive, Man’s core freezes exposing the glass cage that surrounds his heart. God's stare penetrates the glass cage to see Man’s deviousness, “The chaos you have created in my world is not why I made you!” God’s gaze is not consoling, “You have made me angry!” He raises his voice and Heaven’s gates tremble. "You have freewill, do the right thing!" God commands. Sometimes, things happen for a reason, but sometimes, they surprise." Acumen is displayed in the wisdom written in the nooks and crannies of Life but learning is not men’s obsession; it is obtaining the Holy Grail of lucre. These avaricious men, like lemmings, follow a personal path to oblivion, being devoid of integrity, truth and vision, they wallow in fake glitter. The black underbelly of the dark rainbow holds many truths but man is slow to learn disdaining the moral lessons it teaches. Life led Man to a truism: Surviving is paramount But Death added another truism: Lives will be sacrificed Truth is the string that holds the world together but when deceit runs rampant truth can carry a nation a long way, yet in the pursuit for power and control; lying reigns supreme. To stay in power, the liars will twist the truth until it becomes suspect. Confused people follow the din of the opulent life of the wealthy. It is greed, selfishness and jingoism the wealthy foment that entices the dispossessed. Deceitful carrots of untruths are dangled in front of gullible minds desperate enough to believe they can have it all, too. Working people continually struggle to find ways to be heard to expose the elite’s perverse calloused nature of self-centeredness; maybe the fighting spirit of working people’s efforts to survive is just enough to impress God to make the world safe for another day...
