Very Pretty Rainbows by Casey Lynn, Kevin Deacon, Amelia Evard, and Torger Johnson

Swirling, endless colors blending together

In one rainbow of interconnectedness

Slowly, spreading over my thoughts

Leaving them slick and blank

Vermilion passing iridescent green

The richness is over whelming

I see thousands of people

Inspired by this flowing wonderment

They work together to harness it

To gain the maximum power that it has

It is a gift from Mother Nature

The earth gushing her bounty into

The sea of life around me AND NEVER STOPPING!!

Like vultures, some try to steal this splendid treasure

Soaking it up and delivering it to their saviors

The beaches bask under its thick blanket of radiance

The world sits back as slyly and slickly it

Covers the horizon

The sea kittens cry as the green turtles die

They don’t truly know how holy this gift is to us

This black gold is the idol of our country

We will always be slaves to this Texas tea

The essence of our nation’s nourishment

Our thirst for it thrusts our vision of

A bright and vibrantly hued future

Into an inky oblivion




P.S. I’m still in your closet, waiting for you to do something.
