First Speak

The devil whispers his hellos
and I enter into his hellish realm

I'm greeted by pitchforks pinching my sides
and the screems of those who have sinned

My eyes burn from the crimson fire 
and my hair goes totally ablaze

Next comes the pain of heat pouring through my veins
with my tears evaporating as soon as they form

"I don't want to be here!", I shout
followed by the devil's laugh

But for me, this will be home
for all eternity

A very scary thought, Robert. Written so one does not have to use their imagination. The lake of fire is no vacation destination!
