Hell

Flames lick souls

Scorching  what is left of sinners weighed by heavy transgression.

Men and women shriek hoarse in constant horror

For eternity.

Thick clouds like sludge hang

Amongst the sounds of moaning and 

Eerie discordant sounds like music

Made by accumulated grievous and insidious chants

Muffled by the excrement made by man’s indulgences;

Icy rain and snow makes their mud to choke and gurgle upon;

Those that wade; sunk wearily under life;

Sunk in death like cold stones.

And somewhere;

No where;

Everywhere;

Lurks He, Himself that has but the Earth

As His throne.

With a mouth that opens wider and wider

Hurling and sucking the souls of the wicked ever down.
