I wonder- would being forgiven sting a murderer worse than any other punishment? A thought provoking poem

This kind of poetry is so greatly needed in these tumultuous times! To embrace one's murderer, and forgive him for the greatest sin, is indeed an act of great love. One that would bring tears to the eyes of Jesus.

(Part 2) I struggle a bit as to the specific identity of the enemy reference. Is this hate? Or a disembodied (re-embodied?) representation of murder itself?

Intriguing concepts here. I feel perhaps the non-western thought patterns presenting new perspectives on a difficult subject. In truth, a murderer must always have the memory of his victim embracing him through the remainder of this life. To a conscience that is not already hardened beyond remorse, this would be a terrible burden to carry, I think

There is no other way on earth to face the death and your murderer then to embrace him and make him feel guilty of what he is doing. A thought provoking poem, Indeed.
