Satan's Midnight Express

Take a ride on this demonic train. It's a ride that you'll never forget.

Satan's Midnight Express

 

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Waa-waaa-waaaaaa.

 

Racing down from Heaven's height,
driven by a mournful plight
locomotion filled with fright
shows the fist of Satan's might.

 

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Waa-waaa-waaaaaa.

 

In its narrowing of sight
tunneling where fires ignite
hate, indifference, greed, and spite,
it shuns every guiding light.

 

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Waa-waaa-waaaaaa.

 

With a scream, it stops on site
far below where demons fight.
Hounds-of-Hell who tear, and bite
sense their prey with great delight.

 

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Waa-waa-waaaaaa.

 

Souls are pulled into a blight,
tunnels fuming, pressing tight,
black, and hard as ebonite.
Get your ticket. Ride tonight.

 

Choo-choo. Choo-choo. Waa-waa-waaaaaa.

No thanks, I would board the next one :P :P

Wow, you have such beautiful way with the words. Loved this.

Thanks for your review, New Theory! They're waiting for you at that Underworld train station, especially those hungry hounds.

A good train to steer clear of, And I am a sucker for freight Trains, they are always stealing my thoughts.Just a rumble, a bellow of their horn and my mind is gone.

[Aethereal]

Thanks, lee! This is a very busy soul train these days.

[Parsimony]

Blighted visions bourne from fright
Choosing temptations to ignite
Bringing my ticket stub tonight.

Quick, descriptive and collaborative.

[Aethereal]

Thanks, Parsimony! All onboard the Midnight Express at 12 o'clock on "The 12th of Never, and that's a long, long time".

[Parsimony]

Did I just get shunned? I guess it was for the better...

[Aethereal]

Thanks for the little inspired poem, Parsimony! The first line has /0/0/0/ meter whereby / is an accent, and 0 is a non-accent. The other two lines don't match this. It works as a free verse poem.

[Parsimony]

Thanks for writing this poem, I feel like it is the anti-thesis of "Follow the Path"

[Aethereal]

All paths lead to enlightenment, but must pass through fire and brimstone.

[Parsimony]

All paths may lead to enlightenment but not everyone discovers it some have blighted vision as I have referred to above. Thanks for the wisdom.

[Aethereal]

Fire and brimstone should cure you of your blighted vision. Only some must pass through fire and brimstone for their own good. It's all about karma.
