A Newer Happier Hell

The road to death is always under construction
There is no fire or brimstone down below
Hell offers comfort to one and all discounted
Sinners and seniors move in for free

Pain is a figment of the imagination
The administration would never lie to you
We have a kinder candy coated kind of demons
With your comfort and convenience in mind

We are a newer fresher kind of nation
Built on a foundation of sand and trust 
Wall to wall walls installed at no cost
With a view overlooking a windowless future

Untold pleasures not worth mentioning await
Unbelievable benefits for richer and poorer 
According to the new management
No more taxes, no right or wrong   
 
Be happy in your political bent
Everything is good.  Nothing is bad
Death is a mere inconvenience
Something we can live without

All things being equal to liberals
There is no heaven or rent to pay
Imagine that when you pray
Before you enter into forever and a day
