Interestingly enough the rainbow has been hijacked. Yes I said it hijacked. Why? Well it has become related with the homosexual lifestyle so it’s meaning seems to be limited. You think rainbow and immediately what comes to mind? Gay… etc… of course. Sure I can see how this happen over time but is it the true meaning of the rainbow. I say no.
The rainbow encompasses the many colors of life. The many colors that comes in and out of not only our societal changes, but also our own lives. We live a solidarity in our minds of meanings. At no fault of our own some meanings have been tared by societies “urban dictionary” mentality. We use it… we define it… and it suddenly takes on a new meaning.
I digress. We are going through some major rainbow changes these days aren’t we? We see society changing, politicians showing their true selves, citizens voicing their disheartenment of corruption, and our children turning into violent unguided pawns of the establishment. Indeed these are the changes we have seen and are seeing increasingly these days. It wasn’t long ago in the 60s when the words (lyrics) echoed from icons like Bob Dylan, Donavan, Country Joe, and many others that the times “they are a change’n” and people responded. They went out into the streets and spoke out. They marched in DC to show that peace needs a chance.
So what’s the difference today? Even though the rainbow is changing ever quickly why aren’t people vocal about the truth as much as they were back then? They are! Problem is with the mainstream media they have successfully at the prompting of the establishment (government) quieted the voices from being heard. They are out there in mass however they are hardly heard or seen because the news chooses to follow the corrupt rather than the correct path.
We are all part of this rainbow
Forever changing
Beautiful like the skies above
And the land below.
As humans who err
Seeing things through the kaleidoscope
Of changing society and intolerance.
Where humans seek
Not humility and gratitude
Rather to disintegrate
The true meaning of life
Through political corruption
and media manipulation.
Compassion for human life,
Freedom, liberty, and fair justice is what we demand.
Your (gov.) truth and honesty
is that which we command.
Put down your blinding light (the gov.)
and reveal the colors of the rainbow.
Because we are here representing humanity
don’t disregard our voice and our cause.
