What Rainbows Are

What Rainbows Are: A rainbow is hideous. They obscure the view of the dark void of men. There is no joy;only agony upon pain. Your impressions are thwarted by these colors. You are lost on your own path. Virtue and wisdom flaccid ideals for the weak and the daft, whom been called sage. All fail you. Your family, groups, and in a word, society. These rainbows hide this. The rainbow is diabolic. The most incite-full of verses. The best of rhymes. The greatest of men. The heroes of the times. They do not succeed, nor try from their armchairs. Their failure is complete. False notions of hope, birthed from within, parried by men of wretchedness wickedness; and evil. They give knights allowances - missives and permissions, for hollow excuses. Superficial platitudes! The anointed are mere spectators. With quips and their empty polemics. Thus you see. You know, a rainbow is hideous.

I don't know why, I feel like tearing up. All of a sudden I feel I failed everybody. :( Anyways, your poem goes beyond. Oh yes so hideous to evaluate the truth.... Linda

This is a great rainbow song I sing between doging lightning. As I had to explain I like rainbows but I needed a vehicle for the poem. I am very grateful for your reaction and for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Hd3uWKFKY
