This Hell

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: This Hell
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: August/1987


What is this hell (?)
        This hell, 
that burns
         and
erupts inside
         my heart
like a volcano -

Is it anger (?)
         Is it fear (?)

Or
Is it any less 
         worse 
than a living man
         choosing 
not to live
         thinking that
he's going to
         die (?)

Hell is everything you wrote already. You wrote this back in 1987. Let us know how you are doing these day's. We all wish you better days.
