Hell

A poem.

Going into hell is easy;

They welcome you with open arms.

Crawling out again is harder

For they abandon all their charms.

Staying in hell is simple;

They let you come right in.

But if you choose to stay, you’ll never leave.

So, be weary how you sin.

Leaving hell is tricky;

They said they didn’t want to fight.

But now you want to walk away

And they don’t think that’s right.

Crawling through hell is tiring;

They scream so loud that you can’t rest.

But they say that it’s just part

Of some unfathomable test.

Hell is never comfortable;

It’s loud and dark and red.

But it’s only one trivial option

Of where to go when you are dead.
