Welcome To Hell

Poem for a contest(:

The smell of sulfur lingering in the stale air
A mixture of blood and lava slowly flowing into a pool under the throne of the "Red King"
Screams of the burned and beat echo in the distance of this barren, burning waste land.
Beings with flesh hanging off of them as if it was a scarf surround the throne and crowd the so called "streets"

All is silent now as the King raises his hand, cracking a smirk that shows black teeth as dark as his soul
He lifts his head and looks upon his ghastly kingdom
His eyes burn into your very soul
He slowly opens his mouth and utters 3 small words that make even the gods in heaven tremble in fear
"Welcome to Hell"

Great description over the dark, heated, torturing hell, love the line "He slowly opens his mouth and utters 3 small words that make even the gods in heaven tremble in fear "....even the guys in heaven tremble? That must be something...still a great piece about how we will be welcomed in hell.

If it's like this then the whole all the people from the 19th century all the way to our day will go to hell because all the things we have done...religion sometimes can be strange...all that matters is that you know that you're a good person...all that matters is your moral conscience (whew....talking to much...I've reached philosophy here haha)

*Shudder* - When a poem is powerful enough to involuntarily shudder, you know that the description is good.
