Back To the Same Family
My parents and my siblings stayed in their boxes
Not aggravating anyone, trusting others to do the same
I flew to the ceiling on my magic carpet, determined to be a dove
Why do you want peace? They asked, taking out their guns.
They shot me down, but I escaped.
Ending up in heaven for a bit.
We are sending you back to the same family, the angels said.
You have much to teach them.
I arrived back at earth kicking and screaming.
