Those who see rainbows when others see none

Those who have nothing, yet something to show

They’re carved in stone

They heal so slow

So we’ve lost all our saving graces.

And at their expense,

We turn into empty faces.

But those who have the excellence

So sound, so sweet,

I think all of them die

In the stories we meet.

So have some dignity

To do good deeds

Because the ones who see rainbows, they’re beautiful weeds.
