No One Deserves to Be Murdered

So I asked
Did the people you killed deserve it ?
Her reply . . .
"No one deserves to be murdered"
"The stone of violence ripples to the shore and affects everybody"
A hint of empathy through stone/
Like a rose through concrete
Empathy but not remorse
Reflection not regret
Her murders were her Art
And she could regret her masterpiece
Bloodstained bodies torn by violence
Her canvas to kill a man
Her one great secret is the number in her head
Dangerous , Predator
Person, Human
Akin to Cain
The darker side of God's Image

Perspective on the Poem: This inmate challenges me intellectually every time I speak with her. She reminds me that people are complicated and that no person is just one thing. She may be a murdered and she may be serving a life sentence but she is still a human, a person and as much as we may not like to admit it, she too is made in God's image. The parts in quotations are her words exactly as they came from her mouth, I asked her permission to quote her.
