The Rainbow

There was quarrel, there was commotion,
It was a nasty sight and there was emotion

Said GREEN with pride
I am the hope, I am the stride.
I am chosen for grass and leaves
And on trees I am heaves
So I am the majority!

The BLUE interrupted
Consider the clouds and water he muttered
Look at the sky and the sea
There is serenity and peace you would see
Without me, you are nothing!

The now silent YELLOW chuckled,
"Common, now get buckled!"
The sun, the moon and the stars,
You see them, smile; and forget your scars,
It proclaimed, I am the color of sunflower!

It was time for ORANGE,
Think of carrots, mangoes, orange,
Look at the sunrise and the sunset
With my extravagance, everyone is besot
I am the color of health and strength.

RED would not keep mum,
You are all dumb!
I am the color of blood, the color of fire,
I bring bravery and I mean danger; so admire
the color of roses, of poppy, of passion
And to spread love is my mission

Now spoke PURPLE; I am the power,
I define wealthy who are in clover,
I am the sign of queens and kings,
I am the authority everyone sings,
How could you all ignore my royalty?

At last breaking silence INDIGO spake,
Why this noise you all make?
I am the balance, I am the inner peace,
Without me, you all break into piece,
I am the thought, the reflection, the twilight.

Unannounced, they heard thunder,
Lightning stuck and they did shudder,
It began to pour incessant
The rain was non-relent,
The colors, to one another drew close,
Huddled and unloose.

The RAIN now spoke,
You foolish blokes!!
Why among yourselves dominate and fight?
You are made to remain at peace; now unite.

Each one are unique, special to be,
Hold each other and come to me
Now on, whenever I come, all you fellas in peace,
hold and stretch across the sky as one single piece

You will be called the RAINBOW
You are the sign of hope for 'morrow

Couldn't choose between the two rainbows, so added both. Enlarge this photo to see double rainbow :-) Pictures are Gautam's. Thanks dear for letting me use it
