The Devil I Be

In a perfect world
I would not exist as me,
In a perfect world
I would be kind and loving,
You that invented my name.

Forget the world, my brother. No one is better than the next...none of us is perfect....whether I steal a penny or someone else, a million $, we are thieves. Love and hugs to you, Annalise
