Let’s say yellow
Is the jaundiced flag,
And green
Smokes a cigarette of envy.
Well then the blue
Is that heart of ice,
And red
Is soaked with fire, blood and wine.

Your rainbow
Is not so much better now
Than my black

You judge her mind
While you hold her at arms-length
And avoid the eyes, which might just
See you for who you are.

You bury him alive
Guilty with the bullet-holes you shot
As harmless insults
You jump over his crumpled face
And head straight for his beliefs.

Your rainbow
Is not so much better now
Than my black



Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?

Nice Bite to this, enjoyed short and to the point

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

This was great, Hollow!! Loved the "chorus" stanzas! Theirs the multicolors of the rainbow, and yours the "all blacks"...lol. New Zealand's Dark Poet Laureate. Excellent.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
