Gen.9: 16-17

16The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.

17So God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth (NIV).

The Colour of Excellence:

Our beauty is bestWhen every colour is in the bunchWe will never get the best Until everyone is given a chanceWhen some are left out Our collective strength is diminishedVisions get blurred When we see only black or whiteAnd like the black-holeWe die slowly.
