From the Fires of Gehenna

All of the damned souls

Those who broke the sacred rule

All those who are fools

They fall to the pit

They feel regret as they grit

As they're slowly lit

They scream through the fire

They slowly sink through the mire

Of flesh, blood and bile

The endless torment

From the fires where you've been sent

You'll wish you repent

The eons you'll spend

For the things you broke and bent

Just to make amends

The last stanza gave me goosebumps, imagining the horror and destruction of the cursed Ghenna, love the haiku depiction. "To suffer for eternity" they say.

Who's to say we're not suffering already?

Thanks for reading my work. I never thought that I'd receive your praise.

Pain with regrets the only feeling you can feel when you fall here. We might experience hell even now that we're alive but i hope we'll be free from a monstrous place, even sometimes it's ourselves.

And satan decieves Those hungry souls he achieved To torment and grieve

Very nice haiku 💝 I also remember an anime were they use the word gehenna as the name for their Hell. Indeed Gehenna has been quite a devilish place long ago.

Thank you sir. It really was a devilish place since its where they've burned a few people.

Yeah, there they sacrifice their childrens. And was soon deemed as a cursed place.

It sounds good to me. I wonder who changed the place. Are you familiar with Hella? Have you heard about the fairy tale "Frau Holle"? Frau Holle is Hella. Her world doesn't look like the one you describes.

I wonder about those sacred rules...
