The Wrathful

As I continued to descend down that ominous abyss
I began to notice new sinners in a horrifying matter
Embedded into the walls these souls were shaking

I felt somewhat uneasy, unknowing of what was to come
How long will this last? Will this be until eternity
Then the truth came to light, and the cold set in

The souls being tortured were those with inferiority
Now, pinned up against their own wall suffering their own sin
Making others feel horrible is their main priority

Giant demons come around with sharp needles
Continuously poking and picking at the skins of the sinners
Their sweat drips down creating an infinite amount of tears

That form a lake, a lake of those evildoers own
Cries, the cries of the weak, those unable to survive
So they pry on the delicate ones, making them feel powerless

I continued on this path trying to find a familiar
Face I don't know anyone in these circles of lives
I know I don't belong here, especially because I'm alive.

One of the souls took my recognition at the moment I arrived
Kanye West, one of the most successful rappers was
Suffering day in and out in the depths of Circle Five

I said “Kanye, what did you ever do to put yourself within
these gates?” Kanye murmered with his eyes shut“I went on
stage and embarrassed Taylor Swift, she didn't deserve to win

Trying to take her pride and happiness away, but
Now I spend everyday feeling the stabs she did on that night,
A feeling that forever creates the horrid pain in my gut.”

Shocked at this answer, My body lost fight, my eyes had no sight
Hell is worse than what I originally expected, Its a place
where everyone has one thing in common, which is not being right.


I chose the 5th circle for this particular sin because it has to do with wrath and anger for others. Bullies are usually vindictive and cruel towards others making them a perfect fit for this circle. The punishment fits the crime because bullies tend to pin others up against the wall and pick on those who are weaker. The punishment is being stabbed with needles, endlessly picked on and pinned up against their own wall with no where to go. The giants are meant to make the souls feel inferior like they made others feel during their lifetime.
