Hell

Hell was created for Satan and his angels
It has been enlarged to accommodate all Jezebels

I dislike fact that the word hell has to exist
Awesome if could be removed, not just word but place desist

Magnificent if Satan never fell_obeyed
If he worshiped God and followers did not persuade

Now Satan temps man, leads him from God's love, directs
Him in wrong way, his subjects he tricks_ hell they never suspect

Hell enlarged to hold all who sin_ never repent
Heaven is a much better place, repent do an ascent

Sara, don't we all wish hell was just a myth? You asked me if no one else has to worry about this character.On the contrary, he is very subtle and comes across as saintly, as not requiring much, as a sacrificial lamb and someone who deply cares when others are looking, but nothing is farthest from the truth. He is cold and calculating and don't give a rat's behind about even family. All this mumbo jumbo about mom and dad is hog wash. Harsh but true. We can't forget hell with his kind around.

I like how you said to repent and do an ascent. A cute way to rhyme that thought, Sara. I can't believe hell is the way it is pictured in the Bible. It's got to be metaphorical. I believe it is more of a mental torture for the bad that one did on earth and for which one remains unrepentant!
