You can kill the body
but you cannot kill the soul

when a person is murdered
I like to think that person
particularly a woman
murdered by a serial killer
or a deranged evil lover

goes to a place in the afterlife
where the way she went out
isn’t even a memory
doesn’t have any trauma
or lasting emotional scars

a place where none of
the evil things that happen
all over the world
are obliterated forever
in the peace love
and bliss of the afterlife.
