Poetry: Hell

Hell exists on earth, they say

when all the stars have gone away,

and night surrounds us like a shroud,

and terror hides behind every cloud.

Hell can be reality, and much closer

and scarier than we would like it to be.

A demon's kiss upon our cheek

turns us quickly from strong to weak.

Hell's a fire burning in the heart

that rips and tears our lives apart.

Devils dancing on our souls,

biting down and creating holes.

So beware of the hell that can be found

within our minds and all around.

Hell is not some far off place,

and its presence we cannot erase.

    It frightens mostly timid men.
    But the path is long and shaky.
    And the earth is rather quaky.
    There

    by Max Grim

    I awoke to a world with a red sky.

    Deafening silence and demons fly.

    Sulphuric smoke chokes every breath.

    So much misery,
