Hell could be
Hell could be a ‘burning place,’
where the very very bad go to in an ‘eternal holly disgrace.’
Where you just forever die and go to waste.
But I don’t think so,
personally I don’t think there is such a place!
Some say that hell is eternal fire and damnation, /
a forever painful exasperation,
expelled from all of gods magnificent creation.
But I don’t think there is such a place!
No I don’t think so!
Others say that hell is simply a living without ‘love.’
Where the order of the day is to push and shove.
Eternally in misery below, expelled from above.
But this neither exists.
No I don’t think so!!!
Some think of hell as ‘eternal hate,’
where human being exist in an ‘eternal longing wait,’
stuck there like worms hooked for bate.
But I don’t think,
no I don’t think there is such a place.
And so I hope and prey that you don’t either.
But in my heart I know that ‘dreams do come true.’
But I don’t’ dream of such things as “hell.”
No I don’t’ believe in such things like hell.
For I don’t’ think there is such a place as “hell.”
But if you do, if you really really do, then I suppose!
hell may exist for you,
That is, if you ‘wish’ it to.
But I can tell you that even in this case,
it won’t last forever.
In this you must be kidding yourself!!!
Hell doesn’t last forever.
