It “is” This Simple

Inscription: Kahlil Gibran Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Why I Smiled
It was the look I’ve always known
That stripped me live and whole
As if I were not flesh and blood
Or temple of a soul
That clearly said t’was my dark skin
Which granted him the right
To perpetrate a timeless sin
As black as he was white
Love?
The most used and least understood of all the four letter words is love.
