The Pit
A deep deceptive pit
One so inescapable and filled with turmoil
In this pit a man bides
Not by choice, but for no reason
Not for treason
But for nothing at all
Why is it that he deserves a life of torture and hell
When a person worse has everything at the ring of a bell
The more he tries to escape, the deeper he falls
For the pit is too tall
Footsteps come near
Yet, not to rescue his soul, but instead to sneer
“Climb on out” they mock
But for the man in the pit the exit is locked
