"Matar" or "asesinar"?

Question

Hey guys, I'm doing a spanish poem about good verses evil, and I need a word that would be a good counterpart to "salvar" (to save).

Matar just means "to kill", while asesinar means "to murder". What would be a better poetic word to use?

Answer 1

As far as I concern, *matar* goes better.

*Killing* can  mean so many things, in so many ways, mind, body, life,

and it is the end anyway.

I'll would love to have the poem in my hands, but since I don't....I choose *matar*.

Best luck!
