Appropriated

Toweling droplets 
he noticed a piece of it
shining through the pane
at rest on his thigh.

They accused Newton of unweaving it
cutting the plume down to a cold prism.

He only documented revelations of a keen eye
marvelling sublime poetry 
within hard laws.

A street preacher blissfully receives the sign
on a mongral day: rainfall mixed with golden rays

The mere presence of it 
adds timber to his fiendish desire
to be counted amongst the winners
when the world shall burn.

It is a reminder of God's wrath 
and grace, 
he automates
mouthing a thankful prayer.

Young lovers of the same sex.
They see it as their coat of arms
adorning a flag to hold tight.
They brave scouling faces.

The faithful crowd
they're blood boils
to see it reframed.
