Hell

Hell

       sinners are destined
         for inferno domain or hell,
              holding nine circles.

                     levels in series 
                             set in discrimination
                                     on expiation.

     first circle , limbo
        home for unbaptised, pagans
           to spend after life.

                      second circle, lust
                          wind - buffered place for lustful
                                     and adulterous.

        gluttony the third
            with plenty icy rain- slush
                  to shelter foodies.

                              greed the fourth circle
                                     for wicked money grubbers
                                             selfish greedy guys.

     fifth circle, anger
           for those wrathful angry souls
                      engaged in battling.

                                   sixth circle heresy 
                                          choked with modern grievances
                                                  ruining childhood.

        violence, the seventh
             with rings full of blood and fire
                      for ruthless killers.

     eighth circle, fraud
            as giant cubicle farm,
                    place for all fraudsters.

                                treachery the ninth,
                                     a frozen waste land meant for
                                             historic traitors.

       make own home heaven
            with truth, love and honesty,
                   not to visit hell.
