Rainbows

RAINBOWS


EACH MAN SEES HIS OWN RAINBOW
BASED ON THE OBSERVER’S POSITION
AND THE PLACE OF THE SUN

ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING PERHAPS
THAT GOD WANTS TO HAVE PEACE SO MUCH
HE GIVES IT TO EACH ONE OF US INDIVIDUALLY

THE BOW OF THE RAINBOW IS AWAY FROM EARTH
PROTECTING THE ONE BENEATH

FANTASY PERHAPS
BUT NOT TOO FAR FROM THE POETRY THAT IS GOD

PEACE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WAR
LOVE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN HATE
WHERE DOGMA BRINGS DEATH
CAN WE NOT SAY WITH ASSURANCE
WE'VE GOT IT WRONG
