Poem

A nod to Dante’s Inferno


First: Home to unbaptized and the self-righteous
Retirement home of the afterlife 
Aristotle, is there, in his own way, pious
So, deep talks, CSPAN, and not much strife

Second: The final home of the lecherous 
Anyone controlled by their own hormones
Cleopatra, Helen is there, so adulterous
And, reality tv stars calls it their home 

Third: Gluttons have found a slushy home here 
Instagram stars posting photos of food 
People called “foodies” without any care 
Eternity is here, whether bad or good 

Fourth: The money grubbers and people of greed
Fighting over money and valuables
Wishing ill upon others for the bad need
Of money, greed, and the hell that pulls 

Fifth: On the River of Styx, the angry do live 
Wrathful people waging wars at all costs
The road raging man, on anger, that thrives
The fifth circle is reserved for these lost 

Sixth; Heretics spend eternity, here, in fire 
Although, it’s an obscure sin, in these times
These lost souls, still are here, with anguished cries
Choked with ashes and with the grime

Seventh: Outer ring reserved for the thugs and killers
Middle ring is reserved for the suicidal 
Eighth: This level is home to con artists and swindlers
Ninth: Home to the traitors, mostly political
