For Promises of Rainbows

All of us are

waiting to die

The sky falling

misty at our feet

We once believed

in the beauty

of the rainbow

to hold tomorrow

as a promise

yet our lives have

backfired

into pointed guns

into loaded fingers

Exit wounds deep into

past generations...

This too shall wane
