PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We were driving home one late afternoon when there before our eyes

a raindrop kissed by the sun formed a rainbow across the sky.

It’s always amazing how a moment such as this…when the sky and Earth embrace

and we are lucky to be a witness…brings a smile to our face.

Since rainbows are all beautiful…I wonder why through utter cruelty and deceit

is our government trying to eliminate them from our culture 

and erase them from our streets?

But something wonderful is happening…

when our government for hateful reasons wash those rainbows away…

overnight they are repainted…ready to shine in the sun the next day.

You see a government can paint over a rainbow on the street

can tear a painted rainbow apart…

but try as it might it can’t erase…the rainbow in our hearts.

And it’s not just the rainbow…

they are after anyone who doesn’t look like them or believe the things they do

and please do not kid your self…one day they’ll be coming after you.

In a way they’ve awoken the rainbow warrior in many of us..

who are saddened by the hatred that we see

and are ready to fight for what the rainbow symbolizes 

Unity, hope, love, diversity and equality.

Who reject what our government is doing…

Who reject the attack on the right for everyone to be free.

Who are willing to stand up as peacefully as we can…

to this despotism and tyranny.

Warriors willing to stand up for what they believe in

in this current social and political strife.

Who understand what our country needs now…

are more rainbows in our life.

And in order to save the rainbows…

to counter this evil and hateful threat

we need more rainbow warriors…

as many as we can possibly get.
