Hell On Earth Poem by Terry Searcy

THE CHAINS THAT BIND ME ARE HEAVEY AND I AM WEAK
THE DOORS ARE ALL KICKED IN AND ALL THAT REMAINS IS DARKNESS
I FEEL THE LOSS AND THE PAIN THAT ECHOES THROUGH MY SOUL
I CALL OUT YOUR NAMES BUT THERE IS NO RESPONSE
THE DAY IS GRAY THE VOICES ARE LAUGHING THAT I AM COMING FOR YOU
THEY MOCK ME AND SCUFF AT ME FOR I AM MORTAL BUT THEY DON’T KNOW THE RAGE I HOLD INSIDE
THEY HAVE YOU AND I AM WALKING IN TO HELL TO DIE OR LIVE FOR YOUR RETURN
I WALK IN AND THEY ARE SURPRISED, I STAND IN RAGE BUT I AM CALM
YOU ARE CHAINED AND GUARDED BY THEM
YOU SEE ME AND YOUR EYEs RAISE AND YOU SMURK AND YOU KNOW IT’S TIME
YOU STAND AND THE CHAINS FALL TO YOUR FEET AND IT BEGINS
THE BLOOD IS SPILLED AND THE CLOUDS THUNDER
THE LIGHT APPEARS AND THEY SCATTER
THE THREE HEADED DOG HAS BEEN SLAUGHTERED AND THE DOOR IS OPEN
THE TRUMPETS SOUND AND IN THE CLOUDS HE APPEARS
