Hell Has Little Hope of Happiness

November 1, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is Halloween, which was celebrated last night, October 31.

Today’s poem is a Halloween poem about devils as a lesson in morality.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Hell has little hope of happiness.

A devil is eternally on fire,

Locked within unquenchable desire,

Longing with hatred for lost holiness.

On Halloween the devils and the dead

Wander through the world as though to warn

Each soul of an eternity forlorn,

Evangelists condemned to speak through dread,

Nightmares that must preach through pain till dawn.
