The Bully

Once my eyes closed for the last time on Earth,
They opened for the first time in this eternal hell,
And the feeling of true remorse shivered through my soul.

At my funeral, very few came to say farewell,
As they dropped me in this dirt hole,
Which lead to the curse of this perpetual suffering spell.

During my lifetime, I had one simple goal,
Which was to fill the weaker with fear,
And for these sins, I finally pay my toll.

Typical of most bullies from throughout the years,
Wedgies were a common gift to the defenseless
One filled with embarrassment and tears.

Because of the little or no repentance I did posses,
I soon learned these wrathful actions weren’t smart,
For I now spend eternity unable to undress.

And this minor detail is just the start
Another consists of the annoyance in my slacks
Which will sadly never depart.

The ability to pick my wedgies is what I lack,
And each day this pain grows more intense,
As my pants become tighter on my butt crack.

This punishment brings out my common sense,
And illuminates the misdoings of my ways,
Including the many wedgies I have dispensed.


In the 7th circle of hell, where I spend the rest of my days,
I live in this fiery burning pit of a nightmare,
Giving any of my rights to an afterlife away.

Finding this hard for my mind to bare,
I suffer the same pain I brought on to others on earth,
Ironically making me the weak left to be scared.

In my Canto, I talk from the point of view of a sinner who has to explain his eternal punishment he receives in hell which is based upon the actions he has performed on Earth. On Earth, the sinner is a bully, filled with the sole intentions of bringing pain to others, specifically by giving the weak and vulnerable wedgies. When the sinner dies, being that he is not repentant, he goes to hell. In hell he proceeds to be sent to the 7th circle, which is the circle for the wrathful. Within this circle his punishment well reflects his sin in terms of the contrapasso because the act of giving wedgies, which the sinner spent his whole life performing is now being forced upon him for eternity. And wedgies, which the sinner thought was only deserving to those who are weak are now being performed on him, thus making him the weak and vulnerable one.
