RAINBOW LOST
I'm searching for a rainbow To bring this storm it's end We need those colors to fill the sky Will you search with me, my friend Will you help the rain to end? OUR RAINBOW IS LOST I saw a photo on the news It crushed my heart within Of a woman bound, and abused Just because she has dark skin My brother, please free this world from sin Have you ever seen a bruised-up child And looked the other way How did it make you feel to learn That he died the very next day My sister, why do only the helpless pay I've heard the grief in a parent's voice As they lay their child in ground Addiction, and greed shattering lives To here their cries is a painful sound They scream, when will our rainbow be found This world needs a rainbow No matter what the cost The broken souls that walk the earth Cannot survive While the rainbow is lostRAINBOW LOST

And, my neice Robin Johanson who passed away at age 19..in 2006..and many others that have left far to soon.

- Yes I agree the world does need a rainbow! I liked the way you gave examples of the lost rainbow. Though this one was sad for me just more to reflect on as this poem is so true.
