Two poems - Lost rainbow - lives


Poem completed 18th May 2020

 
Lost rainbow

 

Trying to get an invitation to what will be

My heart in the Now

You string me up and pull me down

I may act strange,

so much to say,  change our history,

the words will not die

Dawn is blooming

 

Shut out on the streets

The rainbow over an empty playground

Was the brightest I’ve ever seen

In the name of daylight

Capture it in camera memory

Or keep it in my head

Morning will come

Lives

 

No rules we can break

Winners are hard to take

All I can do

Is carry on my bus ride

Go on, the nights are long

No home

Our lives can break too

Ask me, I don’t know

Won’t turn my back

The answer is not where I need it

 We are angry

 can’t take any more

There is nothing in the way now

Say you’re still alive

Save the Hate.
