Welcome to Hell

                Welcome! Welcome!
               
                I've waited for you,

                now - tell me -
               
                what did you do?                    
               
                Walk past the needy,

                ignoring you knew?


              
                Or was it more sinister,

                thought through and

                well planned?

                I see you have
               
                blood -
              
                smeared on your hands.


                You humans don't get it.

                Selfishly laughing-

                opened-eyed blind,

                Each tear you cause others,

                is YOUR choice,

                NOT MINE!

This piece is very thought provoking and intertwined with sin and full of questioning... Why is it that pain is repetitive and sometimes without restriction or earnest conviction?! Quite well written!

Thank you,soulwriter Man lives by man. not by soul,which some call 'gut' feeling. Ego is his demon,others are destroyed as they venture into his path(man)Be come like wax-piss will not be able to penetrate. Again-thank you.

INterersting view on humans not so kind - soon we must know that we all become THE NEEDY- but what is need and what is just plain lazy

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
