Spray Painter of Rainbows

Cloaked faces shattering cities. Setting fire to old glory. Spitting hate at our peace, Then casually branding it freedom of speech. They sack our places of worship. Spray painting over rainbows our covenant with God. Then they tout it a healthy release. Scholars cackling at our children in venomous rant. Seeding pods of filth throughout this great land. If your heart is living in the light, why then do you hide your fiery faces. Spray painters of rainbows-the blight of free minds and nations

...and hiding behind and beneath them. A very different take on the contest theme. Poignant and painful read. Well done.

Yes, "Hello darkness my old friend" - brings to mind the truths we, unfortunately will never be free from but we must keep in the light and at a distance - love your take on this.

nice poem /// o' rainbow, no rain, no bow, but a hue of rain and bow together! O' no, there is no sky, just a space, space can fly in hollowness better ///
