An Anarchist At Heart.
Kahil Gibran was not a proclaimed anarchist, but like all honest people, he was an anarchist at heart. His poetry speaks of a universality, a common bond between all people, as one of his favourite quotes makes clear, "I am not a politician, nor do I
wish to become one" and "Spare me the political events and
power struggles, as the whole earth is my homeland and all men are my
fellow countrymen". Where ever he stands on the political spectrum, enjoy his poetry.
Your children are not your children.
You give them your love but not your thoughts,
