Tainted Rainbow

Red for the blood spilled

To save another who is not me

Orange for the sun that fades

Behind clouds of despair

Yellow for the daisies that wilt

For the lives that slip away

Green for hatred and envy

For the root of all evil

Blue for broken hearts

For permanently tear-stained cheeks

Indigo for a sliver of hope

That keeps us going strong

Purple for the mysteries

That will remain forever unsolved

And clear

Allowing me to see through the fog

So I may view this tainted rainbow
