Viva la Revolution (de’ Enfer)
A psuedo-sonnet on the revolution in Hell
Cast from the realm beyond Elysium
Having succumbed to the power of Pride.
Falling past Earth, Purgatory, the void,
Ba’alath hides in Pandemonium.
Satan and the third thrive on wicked souls
In an economy run on past sin.
Millennia past, Gehenna gains coin
A world of rapists, murderers and ghouls.
But the whip lashes back to the demon.
Humans accumulated battle back
Using weapons inspired by the Beast.
Satan to never live as a free man
Exiled to the chaos beyond the black.
The new tyrants are at their happiest
Remaking Hell in earth’s brief, dark image.
