Dante's Inferno Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

The hierarchy is placed straight up
There is a cover of lies in what is done
His Holiness has many shrouds
Secrecy is one of his weapons
Fear his shield and arrogance his arrow.

They laugh at the absurd humanness
Will some one spill the beans with courage?
Will some one let the world know what happens?
On the dinners served in silver and gold
Champagne in crystals and caviar.

Someone is opening the long dark tunnel
And the only visible white spot of light
When the formation breaks down
The deserters take sigh of freedom
Out of captivity.

Many a ruined hearts and minds
Many a stifled souls
Under the heavy burden of consciousness.

The lament is not for the divine
When they have snatched your bread
And they say it is His Will
You seek from Him
As they have sought!

The lament is unanswered
Misdirected misdeeds
There are many circles and stages
Dante's Inferno
Someone might still hope
That hell is for the sinners.
