The wicked souls like gasoline light up 
Afire without remorse sorrow and heat
As if Hiroshima Nagasaki
In bright atomic pillars of fire burn 
Unquenched like a mad lunatic bonfire 
The judged the condemned the damned all around  
Without mercy are swallowed engulfed by 
The supernatural fates and their white-hot
Enraged furies as if to disgrace men
And fallen angels at war against earth
As gamma-rays consume their calcified 
Bones they cannot withstand resist before 
Megiddo's Jesus Christ whose burning light
Flash-cooks their soft moist fleshy tongues in 
Their mouths like steaks as the sight of him melts
And liquefies their eyeballs into ooze 
In their sockets as heads and scalps ablaze 
With radioactive fire's decay and heat 
Whilst ashen clothes like death's sackcloth robes fall 
From rude and roasting flesh such that even  
Thews sinews ligaments and tendons of
Flesh melt in the wrath of the Next Advent
Until they are gently slain by his love 
Without forgiveness hope or the grace of
Redemption and salvation and are thrown
Into the lake of fire forever where
The damned are “weeping and gnashing of teeth!”
