Lidragon At Gates of Alternative Hell
Alternative hell with its multi headed gatekeeper so tall
Is a secret most do not dare whisper or speak of at all
We have nightmares about being torn up by the li-dragon.
Whose fierceness is like being torn by dogs with tails not wagg’n.
Alternative hell is for people who did not know they were bad.
Who were ignorant and silly, and hurt people daily, making them sad.
The ones who did not murder or rape or hurt children or kill.
But the ones who have to be taught a lesson, a talent, or a better skill.
Li-dragon stands at the gate, making sure the murderers don’t get in.
Have their own place, where they will no longer smirk, smile or grin.
Alternative is for those who impulsively throw out mean kind of words.
Who show their ignorance of other’s feelings, masters of the absurd.
We once saw the Li-dragon tear a soul up and spit it down the hill.
Did not know it could be done, but that soul was almost a kill.
The Li-dragon cannot be fooled, cajoled, reasoned with or joked with.
If you think this is possible, you had best run off, forthwith.
