I've been reading this piece several times but find it hard to convey my thought due to the sensitive nature of the issue. I personally do not believe that a sexual predator can ever be "reformed" as pedophilia is a matter of social norm and the ever changing society moral views and not a biological one (a look at DSM V is suffice for a conclusion). But for the sake of this poem, I can say that the last stanza doesn't really make any sense. The change of mind (literally as stated in the poem) is just to sudden and out of nowhere after all the gradual built up that rocketed high beyond the cloud and into cosmic level.
In short, the last stanza is a case of "politically correct" at work. If you really wish to write controversial topic, doing it halfhearted isn't going to help your case.
