The Eighth Circle

The Totem Sins

The Seducers (The Snake)

 

whispers in the wind

a silver tongue and a wolf’s smile             

the innocent fall

on the road to perdition’

the snake bares it fangs and bites

 

The Panderers (The Fox)

 

juicy meats ripe fruit

flesh peddlers virgins and gold                      

a barkers delight

anything for the right price

a touch a look and you’re hooked

 

The Punishment (The First Level)

 

The demon’s whips will repeatedly

rip though your flesh until only your

bones show… then your flesh will be

renewed and the  cycle of pain

will again begin…

 

The flatterers (The Weasel)

 

empty platitudes

sincerity with a wink

off key melodies

un- kept vows poison kisses

a weed among the flowers

 

The Punishment (The Second Level)

 

You will be covered from head to toe

In your own filth… your waste and bile

will be your only sustenance…

 

The Grifters (The Shark)

 

a slight of hand

dream makers heart breakers

fish in a barrel

now you see now you don’t

the golden fleece is just wool

 

The Punishment (The Third Level)

 

Your putrid souls will be immersed in

boiling pitch; eating through every

part of your rotted flesh. You will be

bedeviled and beaten by demons… for

your constant screaming annoys them…

 

The Hypocrites (The Worm)

 

consummate actors

do what I say not what I do

show time piety

church goers w***e brokers

dirt behind the looking glass

 

The Punishment (The Fourth Level)

 

You will be plagued with all the diseases

of mankind. Your wounds will fester and

never heal. No succor will you be given.

 

The Thieves (The Monkey)

 

materiel rapists

quick hands fast feet empty purse

lazy vagabonds

while you sleep they steel your dreams

robin hood never existed

 

The Punishment (The Fifth Level)

 

You will be thrown into a hole filled with

venomous snakes where they will strike

and bite… and slither and crawl over your

useless body…

 

The Fortune Tellers (The Parrot)

 

forbidden knowledge

tools of the defeated gods

today’s parlor games

fate is in the hands of God

throw the dice at your own peril

 

The Punishment (The Sixth Level)

 

You believers of the false gods a

special torment is reserved for you.

Your heads shall be twisted to face

backwards; so never again will you

have the sight to see what’s before

you…

 

The False Witnesses (The Rat)

 

the neighbor next door

oath breaker and traitor

a lawyers ally

puppet to the powerful

in the back will the knife land

 

The Punishment (The Seventh Level)

 

You will be used as fodder, a plaything,

by the demons that watch over you. You

will be abused, raped and tortured for

all eternity…

 

 

Hell is a very busy place…..

[deeps]

as in one and two here
kind of humrous to me really you can't out fox a snake
it has a venomus bite.
as it to all hell reaps fury in a pit.
the flame will burn you in the end.

Just don't get me started on worms
they are lower than lower.
The aggitate me to no end.

I can tell the fun you had with this
But what would be up with a crocdile?

Quite a wonderful write here.
Hell is a hellish place isn't it?
Demons love playing with fire.

Hell is a very busy place indeed! I like the hypocrites' fate best.
Again, a blast of Hellish power!
