Mandela

Once, a rainbow fully covered a city’s sky.

Strangely, this rainbow did not disappear for years,

causing rain drops to be colorful as well.

The rainbow color diffused in everything

including the skin of people

who drank the rain water.

After decades, the rainbow disappeared;

causing rain to be colorless again

and people to have their original color back.

Everybody went crazy

and kept painting themselves in rainbow color.

Only one person refused to paint himself.

It took him a lifetime

to make people see their beauty

and live in a harmony.

Now, he is smiling somewhere,

over the rainbow.
