Rainbow

Rainbow is your soul
Black, brown, red, white...
It sneezes so
Aiding and abetting height
Your evil judgement show
Like microscopes
You blow an ant into an elephant
Like antelopes
Your group triumphant
Like a madman
You rant
Show me your face
I'll show you your race
Show me your skin
I'll show you your sin
Like an undertaker
You bury snowlike aspirations
Like a bomber
You destroy dreams and revelations

Shame on you
Tell me God's skin colour or race
You fool!
Why at judgement over images of God
For what the rainbow sneezes?
Know ye not the truth
Exist only an eternal colour
The colour, MAN?

Great, succinct....incisive: 'like an undertaker you bury snowlike aspirations....like a bomber you destroy dreams and revelations.....like a red light flashing--Warning! (You are breaking through the sounds of silence. ) :)

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
