Hi movies this is my first post ! I’m actually nervous writing this but I want my Blog to be one of poetry but also communication ! I want to teach and also learn , see things from different perspective this poem is one I wrote in the middle of the night after seeing a gruesome video of the genocide that is happening in the middle eastern right now. I can’t put into words what they are going through or what’s going to happen , but I can and will use my voice in efforts to speak up !
This piece is titled
RAINBOWS HAVE MEANINGS
By Kalia Walker
Rainbows have meanings
Like wounds have healing
Even if scars will have to take place
Maybe even despite the pain
we can still go into the healing stage
we know that healings possible
and so is recovery
Thats why I’m praying for youth and for answers and a little security
So I say if a rainbow comes only
after the rain has dried
Can I say everyone finds
comfort the moment the last tears dry ?
Is it safe to say even every storm maybe
there’s still a chance to be okay
It has to be ,right ?
like the Sun shining despite
knowing if has to reset every day
It’s like still being present each day
knowing when darkness hits
the sun is just at bay
It has to work in that sense
It’s having faith that rainbows come certain
after every storm and to this day
it’s still proven true
that’s why I still have faith
people have good heart even in the chaos of war
War which is a vicious cycle I hope one days gets replaced with peace ,
maybe there’s a way to see
even in ugliness there’s still beauty underneath
How can we change and how can we keep peace
Maybe we start by realizing
rainbows have meanings
And so does innocent lives
despite what land or territory you were born to even if we have to
March everyday and
equality isn’t the first time its being said
but we’ll repeat it
for years to come
until no life being under
another’s
gets through our heads
It’s hard seeing the full case
or sit through a lecture
it’s easy keeping our eyes on screens
until we see something that makes us look away Even when we do it doesn’t change that fact that bloodied bodies are on the concrete
doesn’t change the fact babies
aren’t spared in war or out of it
it makes you question what else do we take for granted that some desperately fight for
why must blood be on the ground
Where kids could’ve skipped on
why is blood on cement that
chalk should’ve been on
Why is justice a sacrifice innocents must make
Rainbow have meanings right ?
You promised no more floods
but look what state we drown in
God I’m scared
and lost and confused
despite never knowing what’s really going on
just Whats seen on the news
If we weather this storm
let us promise to be better
I might not understand the costs
that must be made
but I can’t sit here and act like fire starts
without someone first casting a flame
I feel scared and I feel I have no right to be
Not when Cindy is living in Palestine streets
Not when war is still a method of communication that each country serves not when …
It’s too much to say
How can we sit
when others
are crouched over dying
But like every storm in the midst of war
Justice will have to be planted in our own ways
Rainbows are for certain
just like the Lord’s return after all
rainbows always appear after each storm
I can’t voice the pain and first hand experience these people are going through , so I Won’t I’ll just use my human Emotions and Values knowing “what good is fighting for land with no one being alive to dwell in it “
prayers to everyone and I stand on the side of children mothers and all innocents ! I hope even tho this is more of poem I can’t wait till I can write some FF and also some original stories and make some mutual I love you guys , let’s be friends !!!
