Embracing The Rainbow

There so many ways, to describe this poem, I can't settle one.

"We want lovin' we want laughter again

We want heartbeat

We want madness to end, we want dancin'

We want to run in the streets

We want freedom to live this in peace...."

 

 

Rise Up

By Parachute Club

1983

 

 

You say

That you want equality

And yet

Your actions speak

Otherwise.

 

 

Equality means

Removing all barriers

Which hinders the rights

Of everyone.

 

 

Not just those

You feel are unjust

Or evil

While keeping those

Based upon your fears

And ignorance.

 

 

One can't be

Truly free

If you need

To oppose others

Because they're different.

 

 

We are

All different

But equal

Where it matters

The most.

 

 

Our hearts

Filled with compassion.

Thank you, John. Only wished things were different, in the world, we live in.
