A splash of me
can brighten the darkest canvass
of an already painted future.
I am symbol of power
lived in by a man
who does more harm than good
according to a select few.
I should define purity
but i was once adorned
by evil minds who took the lives
of colored men.
I live amongst the purest of minds
they cherish the tranquil effect
I give them when they unfurl
and spread their wings.
I am the epitome of peace.
I can be easily damaged by a drop
of another.
