The Power Of Forgiveness Poem by Kishore Kumar Das

People think about you
some think well;
some think evil
you also think well of some
and evil of some:
thoughts move random
we think more of past...
past injustice boils our blood
missed opportunities laugh at us
wrong decisions taunt us
but then past is past
evil thoughts haunt us;
because we have not forgiven the people
who have done harm to us
we spend hours and hours
thinking of persons we don't like
we can't change their behaviour
but we can eliminate these thoughts
by forgiving them...
why carry all burden of thoughts
anger, jealousy and hatred about people
which we don't like
that rob your peace of mind
just forgive them....
in your mind
it is so powerful...
you win because you have forgiven
and you think well of everyone
which is the way to self-realization.
