Recurring sinner; Day of reckoning

Poor me, oh! Mummy, I am a recurring sinner   Same old story waking up every morning a loser..      
      
REIGN IN HELL OR SERVE IN HEAVEN?      
       
BOM BA CHI-CO CHI..      
LOM BA CHI-CO CHI..      
CHI-CO CHI.. CHI-CO CHI BAM! BAM!..
     
       
What they mean! This incantations no idea I'm not a coder..    
On the reckoning day in Mordor, they gave me a condo for been a recurring sinner..      
My brain cells rhythmic firing me into a weeper..      
These demons seduced me assuring I am no more a believer..    
So,
Bomber me hommie for never been a winner

 
 
Wandering in holly..      
Wandering in bolly..      
Wandering in nolly..      
I am not wandering in Norwood..  
   
 
 
My movie a parody I am just a recurring loser..  
Running and pacing to make sure I am not a quitter..      
Accounting for my actions causing me unwanted reactions..      
So much commotion they gonna boil me and toil me in this smouldering coal..      
Worldly pleasures I am the receiver..      
They conquered me hommie my demons all but deceivers..      

       
Puppet master they rank me..      
So much turmoil as they reckon me..      
Traumatic events I wish on no one..      
Should have listen now that is too late..      
Alice we no longer in land of wonder..      
     

 
Got me a condo in Mordor coz I'm a recurring sinner..      
Oh! Please let me out of this ever blazing burner..      
Live and let me die just not in this God forsaken burner..      
Accommodate me better, don't let them prey me this is my only prayer..      
In here, a day feels like the month May..      
So, living everydays a long way to go and night even longer..    
See in here mummy, I don't have any mojo..  
My legs oscillating hanging higher up from a burning hanger..      
 


BOM BA CHI-CO CHI..      
LOM BA CHI-CO CHI..      
CHI-CO CHI.. CHI-CO CHI BAM! BAM!..
     
       
This incantations no idea I'm not a coder..  
   
Poor me, oh! Mummy, I am a convicted sinner..      
See in here mummy, I don't have any mojo!..
Am a recurring a sinner..  
In Mordor they put me in condo coz I'm a recurring sinner..      
On the reckoning day they put me in a condo in Mordor for been a recurring sinner..

Where the incubus creep

Infernal design  
equipped to malign  
To center your time  
In an endless decline  
 
Hell has been touted  
as heaven, rerouted  
where his seduction is clouded  
Lest the spirit be shrouded  
 
The chasm’s too deep  
And these walls are too steep  
Never able to sleep  
Where the incubus creep  
 
Commit to the shame  
Of the gatekeepers maim  
where the veil is aflame  
And the crust is the same  
 
The raze of the rotten  
Where grace is ill-gotten  
The moaning;  
forgotten  
where burdens are boughten  
 
Fevered and shivery  
Ascension misdelivery  
Cruel, bane and slithering  
The serpent is withering  
 
The musk of your fear  
Leaves a layer of sheer  
And the scar of the sear  
Defends the unclear  
 
No rest in the sable  
It’s daunting;  
Unstable  
The devil is able  
To rage fill this cradle

The Blessed Below

Father am I not divine?

Creations offered pearl before swine

You the father of all and that includes lies

I am part of you in Heaven's skies

You too are part of my realm

From my gilded helm

To my fiery pits below

It only goes to show

Since I was made unto you

You didn't truly think it through

There's a part of you in me

Holiness that never does come free

Does that not make me a contender for Heaven's throne?

Or do you take back laws written on the holy stone?

You cannot truly be good in mortal eyes

With them seeing their own children slowly die

So in return they come to make a pact

Against you matter of fact

For when the almighty fails them

They turn to another divine whim

Yes I can save their child

Forces from Hell's own wild

I've done what you can do

And people still choose me over you

You are not the Father, Wraith, or Son

Not when you"re also part of the fallen one

Hell on earth

Hell's this ceaseless squealing numbing traffic noise    
the jack - jack hammers stuttering clattering bangs,    
the grass cutting, hedge trimming, redknecked good old boy,    
loudly murdering Sundays, may that bastard, hang!    
     
Hell's the murderous duel for a parking space    
in the heaving mass of killers at the shopping mall,    
hell's not knowing who's armed or who'd bash your face    
or who the cop will kill IF he answers your call.    
     
Hell's screaming brats demanding ket when I've no cash      
or some freak at the door promising peace in the next world,    
just when I've seconds to go and survive the school-dash    
hell's in front, on a bike, on his early, freeky, morning twirl,    
     
" Out of my way bastard, you should've been still-birthed ! "  
I scream, hell's here, right now, hell's here, or I've been cursed...

WHAT IS HELL LIKE, ANYWAY?

they make
you sit
in grandpa's pew
and listen
to a
preacher
spew
for an eon

maybe two

then you read
a book of
lore
and swear
it holds
the truth
and more

deep down
you think
it's just
a bore

but if
you say
it's just a
book
they'll hang
you
on
a fishing
hook
and burn
you
with
a cigarette
'til you
profess
profound
regret
and say the
one
who sent
you here
loves you
true
and holds
you dear

confessed,
you think
ordeal
complete
but then
wake up
in grandpa's seat

hell never ends

it just repeats

The Infernal Forest

Amiss I crossed
unknowingly into Hell’s frost,

within a mortal’s journey in a dismal wood of sin,
little I knew a divine odyssey would begin.

I awoke off the True Path!
Lord! Dip this careless flesh in your bath of wrath!

In our infernal forest, I departed from the way of light!
Oh, Divine One, with anguish deliver to me a smite!

How to say how wicked,
such a place makes the saints justly livid!

Never witnessed so rank, so dismal,
the non-christened regiments abysmal.

So savagely untamed its rough growth twas’ in this woodland!
Behind every scorched timber hid a sinful band.

The chalice of Christ’s blood dry,
to my fear, gives eyes to the dead.

Hell ain't so bad

Within the depths, where dreams come true
Echoes of hope, where Lucifer loves you
Flames dance, a delightful sight
Inferno whispers through the night

Freedom to say, a care-free state
On tranquil paths, no room for hate
Each laugh, a happy story
In hell's release, heartfelt glory

Pleasant nights, dawn will arise
Cool whispering flames, blue clear skies
A realm of pleasure, you'll never want to leave
In these delightful depths of hell, always believe

Mercy, Has Gone

An ever doward spiral.
A transference of Spiritual disease, turn viral.
Death arrived, & did not fair you well.
Within it's clutches, cast you to the very pits of Hell.
Come now, the gnawing & gnashing of teeth.
But deaf ears fall upon you, way down underneath.
Wake will you not, from  this desperate condition.
A subject, are you, to slow decomposition.
Mercy, has gone the way of your soul.
In it's place, a chiseled out, blackened, gaping hole.

Hells’ Maze

Howling wind in the dark of night
screaming loons from the forest
beyond the blackest shades
they waited in the maze
salivating for signs of mortal sins
made by powers beyond the ken
of human’s inquiring mind

they move in droves
these minions of darkness
to search for preys
to inflict upon their wickedness
for scrambled minds
of human wits they dart
for and attain, full to their gain

screams and shrieks the deranged mind
kicking and struggling to escape
these darkness trolls of nothingness
cares not to look nor validate
the gibbering darkness within
the mind of malevolent frenzied souls
they drag these penitents to the maze

within this maze the specters gaze
with needful hungry eyes
the gibbering terrified souls
those evil depraved souls
whose humane-self had long departed
for regions full of debauchery
murderers of innocence, killers of children

this the darkness closed
around the doomed black souls
to feast upon the sins
that rippled to hurt and maim
others more pure, blameless beings
they circled the terrified cluster
closed and closer like famished lovers

they pounced and wrapped their tentacles
on orifices unknown to man
to suck and gobble the darkness within
round and round they clenched
their suckers upon their spurting darkness
screams, shrieks, howls, gut-groans
emitted from suffering forms below go heeded

when at last the deed was done
crumpled nothing in the maze
dark oily stains on yellow diseased grass
shimmer dolefully in the jaundiced light
nothing left but moans and haunting mewls
from something under the ground
within the mysterious labyrinth
