A Rainbow of Pain and Happiness


The rainbow is full.

Full of love.

Full of pain.

Full of joy.

Full of sadness.

 

Red,

The color of passion,

Of romance,

Of bloodshed

And violence.

 

Orange,

The color of deceit

The color of fall

And a plentiful harvest

And the color

Of absolute deceit.

 

Yellow,

Sunshine and happiness,

Decay,

Sickness,

Joy and sunflowers,

Yellow fever,

Infection.

 

Green,

Greed and jealousy

Fill this color.

Medicine and caring

Join them in the room.

 

Blue,

A color of loyalty,

A color of intelligence,

A color of truth.

A color of depression,

Of sadness,

And gloom.

 

And last,

But certainly not least,

Purple,

The royal of the colours,

The monarch,

The one who rules all,

The lover and romancer,

The casanova of the colours.

And also the frustrated one.

The one who can never figure it out.

The one who can control a nation

But not its own mind.
