Rainbow flag

Pink is for sexual persuasion we think
Red is for life and it follows from pink
Orange for healing and fixing the sore
Yellow for sunshine above daily war
Green is for nature we see every day
Blue is for art and our heart as we play
Indigo for harmony this world we live in
Violet for spirit some good and some sin

Support LGTB to help millions near
What they think and they feel is never so clear
Bullied by classmates and people alike
What's happening to gays will never be right

Author's Note

A boy in my local area took his life last week as he was bullied severely by other boys because he was gay. I wrote this for him using the colours of the LGTB rainbow flag, each colour representing a different meaning. I hope you like it.

Wow...you have so much talent. This is wonderfully well-written and thank you so much for speaking out about such a worthy issue(: It's really meaningful to me; I have a best friend who is gay and I helped him get through coming out to his family and to the school. It was a difficult time for him but thankfully there are people in the world like you who will view them as people, and not as a sexuality.

Thanks for reading and reviewing. Bullying is the worst thing for a child to go through in their school life. It brings so much hurt. I'm glad you enjoyed this.

this needs to be read....prejudice is running rampant in our society...

and it is very sad.

[Imogen.E]

It is so very sad- I hate humanity for it. Thanks for reviewing this and I'm glad you agree with my ideas.

I lived when Martin Luther King Jr. stood and fought for equal rights for all people. The last 5 years we have fell backwards. This is sad. Time to relive the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. once again. Where everyone is treated the same and there is respect for religion, race and preference. I like your description and hope. I wish I had the cure. I believe each of us must do our part. What is right must be protected. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

Thankyou, I hope that one day the world will have EVEN more understanding of how others are different. Luckily more people are becoming accustomed with the idea of gay marriage. I'm glad you like it

Thanks, I feel that your sexuality doesn't shape your personality, it's just a description. Like the colour of your hair. I'm glad you enjoyed this x
