Symbols get messed up over the ages, meaning quite different things to different groups at one time or another. Maybe it is about time to just be grateful for the thing, instead of what it has come to symbolize.
A murder of crows,
obscured by,
the unkindness of ravens,
a rainbow pierces,

this assumed vile,
this assumed unholy event,
this wonder,
this beauty,
just some birds flying,

their beauty obscured,
obscured by symbolism,
bring on the dove,
the olive branch,
extent that symbol,
to the murder of crows,
to the unkindness of ravens,
rainbows,
rainbows,
rainbows,
rainbow warrior,
rainbow coalition,
take a ride of the homo rainbow,

to some a symbol of God’s promise,
to others a symbol of Satan.
Strange mutterings,
at a New Age bookstore,
by Fundamentalist Militants,
throwing threats and taunts,
about rainbow titles.

Rainbows now obscured,
by time,
by miscommunication,
inferior education,
Image via Wikipedia
home schooling,
family bookstore sensationalism,
everyone claiming that symbol,
it’s ever so lovely,
Image via Wikipedia
the color spectrum,
now damaged goods,
damaged by symbolism,
every symbol takes abuse,
Image via Wikipedia
even the rainbow,
a symbol of God,
a symbol of Satan,
Image via Wikipedia
Get over it,
it is beautiful,
regardless of either deity,
focus on the beauty,
not the cause,
not the symbolism,
enjoy,
enjoy,
stop being a sycophant,
for good,
for evil,
being a sycophant,
is evil either way,
just be thankful,
for the beauty,
Image via Wikipedia
gratitude finds its’ own way,
to its’ destination.
