Hell


                                         ego's dominance
                                   ushers to his sudden fall ~
                                           disobedience


                                       the six foes of mind
                                     aggravate evil imprints~
                                      hell unfurls its wings 


                                      make hell or heaven
                                     no distinct dominions~
                                        mind’s autonomy


                                      the galactic stretch
                                  intriguing is all His making~
                                     out of line makes hell.


                                      an unkind heart with
                          torrid heat, surged flow, harsh cold~
                                       hell's incarnations



             (torrid heat = anger; surged flow= greediness and jealous;
              harsh cold = cruelty)
