I am Rainbow

I am Rainbow 
seven colours merged to flowing 
glow in Dark Nights of the Soul
landed in a country nicknamed 
the “Rainbow Nation” untamed
my mission to transform, transmute
colours covered in dust and rust
with rain we gain, attain without shame
sublime freedom for Self and fellow 
with not much bellow never shallow 

arcs of colours we witness together 
comradeship our survival dope to cope
heliocentric symbols unified we hope
regard one another with approval and respect
as we watch rainbows high-low, know neglect
through struggling pain red became orange
orange yellow, yellow to green to blue then 
indigo to white sprinkled with fight, onto light
arcs across sunny skies, sunflowers, koppies 
such radiant patterns flood our mixed-up blood !
