Black rainbow

Green black sea
They stuck a hole in you
And raped you
Roughly
Like the screaming virgins
Of villages they razed

Green black trees
They took their claws
And tore you nude
And broke your backs
Like the old men with canes
That stood in the way
Of the battering rams

Brown black dirt
They set the grass ablaze
And watched it smolder
Like thousands of cigarettes
Puffing and filling the lungs
Of the loved ones

Blue black sky
Maybe yet
We’ll see the sun again

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make with this. Frankly I don't like it, especially because of the first two stanzas. I'm not sure how the ending fits with the rest of it, either. Oh well.
