Class 10 English WHERE THE RAINBOW ENDS POEM X

Summary
The poem ‘Where the Rainbow Ends!’ composed by an African poet Richard Rive talks about friendship and racial harmony. The poet makes clear that it is possible to be friends whether we are black or white i.e. whichever race we belong to. He does not say that this will be an easy process as people are different. Rainbow signifies different colours in a band and the poet is trying to say that different coloured people can find happiness together.
This poem is all about importance of equality and brotherhood. Since, the time has passed we can see the world has made a huge differences on the basis of caste, creed, colour, etc. The poet wants to search a place where such differentiation is not made. It encourages all the mankind not to be racist and abet people to be non-racist abandoning the racism from the whole world!
