Hope My Murderer Ends up in Heaven

by JayBugs

I see a person behind bars,
and my heart swells up with sympathy.
Just Imagine all their countless scars,
numbers beyond infinity.

I hope my murderer ends up in heaven,
though I know he holds much blame.
I hope that he's given another chance,
because I think: given the right circumstance,
would I have turned out the same?

None of this is simple,
its not black and white.
Yes it's obvious that he’s a criminal,
but we dont know what demons he was forced to fight.
