What must it be like to be hated
And feared by the masses,
To be misunderstood, stirring and drawing unfounded
Lies out of the hidden recesses of mankind’s hearts?
What is love? Is it a sensation, an overpowering
Urge, reserved only for romantically garnished bedrooms?
Why must friends tell non-truths and daily live double lives
Because of unknown evaluations of partners with matching chromosomes?
Out of hatred and oppression, seeds of love
And complete acceptance come.
They --- in the lack of rejection --- shame and
Indict their mockers.
Love, it is true, is all we need despite
That it --- the greatest of all gifts, love --- is not all we give to others.
Love, not merely a word, but so much more;
Let it captivate you, redefining your entire being.
