A Beautiful Darkness
how many times
have i've searched for a rainbow
only to find despair
locked down and locked out
of society, a vegabond deep within its lair.
how many times
must i search for a rainbow
a rainbow where there is no sun
is it possible that providence is racist, and the sun and the rainbow segregationist?
for how many times must i search for a rainbow...
only to find despair.
