What is hell

He who neither knows nor cares to discern, the underlying truth of existence, mistaken he’s this form, is doomed to burn, in fires caused by his ego’s resistance, yet refusing to take God’s assistance. For such a person, this earth life is hell, suffering under wayward ego’s spell, though at any moment he can be free, if addiction to desires he does quell, making his heart pure, blissful and carefree.

People do make their own hell until they turn to what they've had within all along, waiting to be perceived, and certainly hell can point them to need. A stern no holds barred write poetically and insightfully scrolled. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
