Is It Wrong?
(Confounded by Mercy)
is it wrong that I say “I hope he dies!” serving as I do the Lord of mercy seeing the lives his has destroyed knowing a pain that will never die owning the largest part of his curse owning the smallest part of their pain
is it wrong that I say “I hope he dies!” serving as I do the Lord of mercy knowing that I once deserved only death
yet I am a man, with children in my care and the father part of who I am cries out “I hope this monster dies in pain unloved!”
I am at sea, tossed about and blown askew by contrary winds and waves that alike demand mercy and justice
but I have been confounded by mercy have scarce escaped my own justice can I demand what I no longer fear? be poured upon one who knows not the God Who died to save his life Who also died to save mine
how can I demand he die estranged when I myself have been saved
