Hot Hell, No Place For the Weak

Hot Hell, No Place For The Weak Last time I went there, hot hell was waiting, in sinful crevices just past burning flames. There was fleshly lust there and just baiting, we dumb enough to join in its black games! High rose leaping flames as wicked laughs roared, and shadows edged much closer to steal all. Great thrills in pleasures, nobody was bored, one could hear, sweetest sirens as they call! That feeling of great power as one fell, into a hole dark, dank and very deep. No retreat, no help, just pain in black hell, later ever lasting torment in sleep! Wake bleeding, wallowing in broken glass. Amidst other victims crying in mass! R.J.

A past that did one positive thing, it taught me that sincere prayer saves. And I had an awful lot of friends and relatives praying for me back then. I was once wilder than a wild rampaging mustang and meaner than a snake methinks. lol
