This is a short Haiku poem describing the imagery surrounding a murder
"Thou shalt Not Kill"
"Thou Shalt Not Kill", is the Sixth Commandment G-d gave us. G-d gives life, only G-d has the power to rightfully take that life away. Man was made in G-d's image. In a way, when you kill a human being, you are violating the image of G-d. Didn't you ever notice the beauty, brilliance, splendor, angelic aura emanating from the human face. Man is imbibed with the holiness of G-d's most treasured of creations. Creating man last in the order of creation. Making sure the world he created for man was completely finished, prepared, and beautiful prior to introducing him into this world he has given us. Just think, the apple could have been white on the outside and red on the inside. The banana. The pear. All of the foods G-d has created for us in the world all have a beautiful color and appearance, often fragrance as well. why? Because we are to infer from this that G-d wants to give us the pleasure to our eyes as well. A kind and Giving G-d. After having said all this, imagine how G-d feels when he sees man (with the free will he has bequeathed to him) his creation rising up and spilling the blood of another of his creations. What anthropomorphic terms could we attribute to answer this. Sad? Angry? Upset? Unhappy? Whichever one it might be one thing is for certain. G-d is the Judge. The witness. The Jury. The executioner. He will exonerate the innocent and convict and punish the guilty.
The haiku that follows was an attempt, with a few words, to describe not only the effects that murder has on the victim, but on those that read about it as well. They are also affected. Fear now becomes part of this experience to the living as well.
a body gone cold
dread, fear has now taken hold
one precious life, sold

We are all born with an expiry date put on our head. The question is when is that date actually kicking. With regard to murder, yes you have the dread of watching your life being taken away but there are two things you can do:
1) Accept that we are all born to die
2) Fight to survive
If a person has it within them to fight the attacker, fight the attacker but when the attacker is ruthless, brutal and without a conscience, not even the Bible and the missing O can help them...
Look at the personality of the killer, if the person was brought up properly by their parents, there would have been no thoughts of murder crossing their mind and yes it would also mean that bad company would give rise to doing things that are damaging to your spiritual well being and personality. There is either the feeling of guilt or elation of continuing to kill people post that. If there is guilt there is scope for change, no guilt means that they are coldblooded and ruthless and will not bother to change and this could be caused because of a previous hurt and that would have adversely affected them to make them cold blooded killers.
It is also said that movies which have people acting as murderers need to have the correct mindset to play it as the Character becomes the person as you reflect the looks to play the person for reality.
Sad but true, the person dead may have a shock but eventually start to accept the death and go into the light but it is the murderer who will never have the reprieve as they are the ones who took life in their hands and it is only God who can decide who can live and who can die.
