On the road to hell...

On the road to hell... What is hell for you. Read this maybe you would like hell more than heaven according to your definition mind you. Here he was on the path of oblivion Away from where people lived like bees swarming to suck earth They were those who were slaughtered when they were born He had challenged all of that. On the road to hell He saw a faint flicker It was his own soul He had to fortify his own ego Which he had discovered the night before He was living in heaven The sad road told him the story He was here because he was crucified He had uttered the unthinkable He had tried Aristotle Walking it down he tried to swallow the fact He was no more the mirror he saw Overturning the mirror he saw insects Tried the analogy Yes the people “No more afraid ”,to the mirror he said “I am better than u”. Again the sad road overheard the within Spoke of his being an agnost The way he was hanged And the way he smiled. “I admit ”, the sad road said “Never seen u laughing before” He laughed and marched along He buried the sad road He walked on it Finally reached his destination Announced his entry Nobody gave a damn He realized he was there Getting rid of whatever burden of altruism he had He spoke out loud “I am here hell” “Embrace me” “Give me me back” Hell said “come in child” Have u not realized u have got your me On the road to hell . He realized he was talking to the mirror He turned it upside down Then took out the gun from the case And got out of the house He could not see nobody He could feel somebody And then he knew he had the me Then he finally said “On the road to hell” And left for it”

What stayed with you?

A line that lingered, a feeling, a disagreement. Great comments are as valuable as the original piece.
