Kris Kruger Seeing A Rainbow In The Stormy Night Sky
We come into this world born free Free from taxes, free from discrimination Then something oversees our hopes and dreams It encompasses all we wish to do, all we wish to become Our dreams crumble apart as our minds get dumped back to 'reality' We lose our ambition, we lose our sense of creativity We have no higher level to achieve, we can only follow in the institutionalized ways of methodical civilization We keep aback withdrawing our bodies, withdrawing our emotions We take life as it comes and never question why or look past the thin surface that wants to be cracked Yet there still remains those of us who have not followed into the already beaten path This path may be popular, but is so impersonal that it makes all others better We take the road less traveled, we take our own roads and eventually make it as we go along And it is for this we suffer: when others merely frown, we cry; when others smile, we burn in laughter We feel more, we get attached more, we experience more and if not for any other reason, this makes us superior We know what we are looking for We can see our dream an don't think about the task of obtaining it, but rather at the dream itself We are few and in that sense, we are precious It's true though, we too have our hard times, but with someone else like us there, they are easily overcome It is with our own complexities that we, are our best It is like seeing the rainbow in a stormy night sky It shouldn't have its potential decreased until it fill its amplitude It is like seeing the rainbow in a stormy night sky Rarely does it happen but when it does it should be cherished forever more I've seen the rainbow, now where do I go?
