Rainbows (For Our Children) Poem by Rowdy Solomon

Positivity was always one of those things that came slow

Just like poets and rappers collaborating trying to be on one accord with the same flow

But in the future that we have, most have no choice but to aim low

Because of the stipulations upon us by the statistical status quo

Diversity is something foreign to us now from different angles

Because we are not judged by color but by description and slain though

Our futures could be bright if someone gave us a 'Hey! Woa! '

To get us back on track when we slip off life's railroad

Our children always mimic what we do. If not everything, close

To everything we do become part of them. So let's change those

Habits that we have from segregation to lame gross

Disgusting discrimination and also how we dress in these tight and baggy clothes

Our children are the future, but the past is so bad though

We're caught up in traditions and forget the mission needs to be handled

Our country is in a storm in many ways and it's factual

That most of us are selfish and only value our own opinions. That's sad to disclose

Financially, spiritually, mentally, we're mad low

And emotionally we've bitten off more than we can handle

We've fallen off the horse, jump back on the saddles

And let's become one again to save our children from this battle

Swallow your pride. Change your inside. Give this world a drastic glow

And let us reign long and hard four our children to have something to aim for

At the end of these rainbows...
