A Tour of Hell

If ye wish,

Grab hold, and tightly

For we shall fly nightly

Beyond and below

Mortal coils and leering gargoyles

Take heed of this shadow plain

Infinitesimal in thine domain

Though, true, it holds no place

In such a shallow, sickly space

Be it barren

As you may define it

Look closer and behold!

'Tis more than a terror

Does its lack of light blind you?

Your eyes seem teeming with judgement

Fearful like those of a rodent!

Let me bring you closer

To the ravage and mystery

Do you see any tears falling?

Do you see any blood crawling?

Is this what it would be,

If there were no lies?

I see ravens calling

It may look like a graveyard,

But where are the corpses?

Where do the ravens fly?

Where is the stench you imagined?

Can you give me one reason why?

One reason why they're here?

One purpose?

Tell me what they're doing!

Good

You know now

Hell is not terrifying

Just very lonely
