Hell is Hell!

I had grand mal seizures throughout puberty, and every neuron in my brain would scream out in abject terror for 30 seconds, and I'd pass out.

Hell is Hell!

They Say Those Who’ve Been to Hell Don’t Talk About It,

While Those Who’ve Been There Will Tell You Flat Out!

If You Don’t Die Within 30 Seconds You Pass Out!

Fear Is The Mind-Killer the Little Death!

That Eats Us All From the Inside-Out!

When All Our Real Threats, Are Without!

Cast Your Shadow, Upon the Calm Fog!

Search For The Light Within You!

(Frank Herbert)

Don't go there!

Strange write.. for strange that I needed to reread it, then go to the reviews and your answers..
Feels like you are angry.. perhaps, you are not ..but it does feel that way.. especially in your comments.
My sister is a Peruvian Shaman.. full of light and hope..
Not sure you can save the planet and everyones souls... as most of us know that only happens when we are enlightened.. no one can really help us with this..we can only help ourselves..

Most Shamanism is very positive and upbeat, including religious Taoism, but my work is in redefining the laws of thought, to explain how any kind of shamanism works. Tell your sister her art is about to become a science, and requires more than the power of positive thinking.

I can literally dissect anything anyone writes mathematically. Once we have the math, the magic will become undeniable, but its karma baby, and there's hell to pay for Childhood's End.

Thank you for responding.. Hope you will find the time to read some of mine..

I looked at two of your poems. They look good to me, but what I do is the mathematics and quantum mechanics of humor and language, while your poetry is more classical. Believe it or not, mother nature controls what I read, what websites I can visit, etc. and, once crashed six computers in a row when we had a disagreement. Don't let anyone ever tell you karma isn't a b***h!

Dune is reborn for a new generation. Perhaps there is a likelihood that its magic in both versions correspond or perhaps one magically greater than the other. But the magical thing about death is the resurrection and that is a universality that can go beyond the realm of the mind's magic. Hope your days are much better now with the passing of years in this life's journey.

Dune is undeniably fiction, while everything in my book is either fact or the self-evident truth. You could say, my book turns fiction on its head, using commonly used phrases, salty quotes, song lyrics, etc. the entire book uses the People's Own Words to describe the world and my life. Seriously, I knew at five years old the whole world is insane, and I became the Shockwave Rider. What I write is the Singularity, and if you actually attempt to copy my book or follow my work, the Collective Unconscious is waiting for you.

Pardon it wasn’t meant to imply that what this poem refers to is fiction. It was a reaction to (Frank Herbert) which was tagged at the end of the poem.

[wuliheron]

Herbert's work is interesting for my book, because I cover the Playground of Life! Every little kid knows or learns that phrase, and can make it their own! :)

Oh like a sandbox laboratory 🧫 🥼 🧪 of life

[Lisasview]

I just saw your poem again and reread it... Still liked it..although rather strange...still..
I reread your response to me..two months ago... where you declare that ,y poems are more classical... Well, I have been exposing several other topics that you might enjoy.. Perhaps Innocence.... full of metaphors..might be more to your liking?
Anyway, a quick hello,
Lisa, still in Spain

Hell may be different things for different people but yes, Hell is Hell! Quite thought-provoking!

Once upon a time, in another universe and singularity, Yogi Berra was running in from way out left field...

this is a wonderful write

[wuliheron]

It's the scares inside that take the longest to heal, and it helps to remind myself there's no future in dwelling on the past. :)

One of my favorite quotes comes from Winston Churchill...

"If you're going through hell, keep going"
And this by FDR...
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

Your piece speaks to these mindsets.
Nice work.

Believe it or not, I was brain damaged at three, abused, eventually became homeless. I studied all of physics, philosophy, neurology, and linguistics, then cracked the analog logic of the Tao Te Ching, and am now a Shaman, who has spent the last fifteen years, figuring out how to save the planet and everyone's souls. Some people tell me they believe in some of what I write, and I laugh, because mother nature doesn't care what you believe. :)

I am still homeless, but Catholic Charities has been there for me since the days of Ronald Reagan, and deserves all the praise I can give them.
