"I Am From" by Peter Picard

I am from a place
in the stars.
A place of wonder and amazement
Angels follow me wherever I go
And whisper words of hope
and inspiration even
in a world of evil and deception
where I discover anger and injustice
that controls the different cultures
that I meet.
The innocent are blocked in the prisons
and the guilty
parade in the street
I am from a place
where forgiveness is a way of life.
But I have forgotten what the word
means.
Now I am studying the fruits
of my anger and learning again
the magic of overcoming them.
