I Tasted The Rainbow

It so happened at the end of the pot

There were more words then there were not

As was leveled my understanding with a blow

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

For millions of years and far far beyond

We submitted to gods that never dawned

Until that final seed we did sow

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

It sparkled in a lavishly draped crystal dress

Our future cracked at its far upper crest

And it all unraveled into the past as we know

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

And I laughed most heartily without a care

So humorously innocent was truths virtuous stare

That I wondered why ever I feared a black crow

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

What a joke, o’ what a blasphemous joke

That with laughter my eyes seem to choke

Not the future, but the past seems to grow

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

As we see it, the future seems to claw

But that is just what caused the flaw

That we misunderstood its actual flow

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow

Don’t ogle if you don’t understand my crown

Someone played a prank, put it upside down

The past is the future, the future we all know

I realized right after I tasted the rainbow.
