Hellfire
Jesus stands before me
with two broken arms
He proclaims, "you are not forgivable"
and tears ran down his face
But I'm an innocent man I professed
I have bee misjudged
Bones protruding and nails from his wrists
he walks towards me and gives me a hug
I am quivering as his warm blood stains my clothes
I look him into his eyes and ask 'why?'
"Man holds onto the darkest evils" he says
His crown of thorns pinches my forehead
Am I doomed to Hell, will I burn forever?
Can you stop the forces that are in place?
The leaves begin to spin up and around us
The clouds break and the sunshine warms through the open air
"You will perish for the sins of others, I cannot protect you"
"The Kingdom of Heaven is not in your path. You will indeed burn"
My tears turn to salt. He releases me.
I begin my descent.
