What do you think this poem is about?

AUCTION

New clearance sale! ! !
Satan brokered the deal
A salvo from nuclear arsenal
Knocked down bid final
Mr. Hades clinched all
Body wrappers are buried
Spirits are…… under dispatch

    You have lightened the tone of such a dark and foreboding topic. You have great imagination.

    Rage penned with irony and brevity. You are a cartoonist with words, Sathya. You bite the reader where it hurts. Great work. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
