Hell
boundless firestorm flames
furnace flares unending fumes ---
kitchen in chaos
flesh blood skin and bones
physique and psyche shredded ---
head cut chickens walk
skulls and skeletons
ripples in rivers of blood ---
whirlpools in red seas
devils dive about
gods excommunicated ---
frail ghosts flits flutter
hunger and famine
war death demise and decay ---
stand entwined with souls
I know very well, yet
day-to-day existence here ---
is worst than the hell
