The Quality of Mercy is Not Strained

The one you can't forgive is the one who has you beat
There are those near impossible to forgive
Holocaust victims how can they forgive
should they even attempt it?

Being not a Holocaust victim,
I dare not consider the question
beyond its immediacy

It would seem to me the thing to do
is bury the wrong doers so deep
it would be impractical to exhume them
or extract from them remaining flesh

Where to find such a shovel?
How deep to dig the pit?
To hell or heaven?
