Alcoholics

The ones that passed out at parties (aka The Alcoholics)
Level 4.5 (A new level)

We casually propelled into the cave
Deep into an unknown space.
I hear screams rising from the grave.

At first, I could not find any trace
Of sinners in this ring,
Who rejected God and went against His grace.

The sinner's screams sing
Violent songs for the rest of eternity
Yelling and craving a drink.

I looked into the pit and saw bloody bodies looking up at me.
Clawing at the dirt above,
Wanting to be free.

Drink is what they only love,
So drink is what consumed their lives.
They forgot all about God and the Dove.

In their lives, they beat their wives.
The greedy people were never satisfied.
So, from the sky fell giant knives.

I stood there frozen and horrified,
But Virgil cast a spell
And sent the knives to the other side.

The knives attacked the sinners in their cell
And tore their flesh into cuts so small.
Then gloomy clouds descended from upper hell.

It started raining rubbing alcohol.
Each prisoner experienced the ache
But Virgil and I felt nothing at all.

I decided to leave, because this was a mistake
but, the sinners had to stay submerged
in what was now a lake.


Explanatory Paragraph.

My original canto is in level 4.5 which is in upper hell. This level houses the alcoholics, or the unreasonable drinkers. These are the people that passed out at parties because of too much alcohol. This level of hell is in between the greedy/wasteful and the wrathful. Alcoholics are usually greedy about alcohol. When they start drinking, it is harder for them to stop. All of their money is wasted on alcohol. Alcoholics can also be connected to wrath. When they are drunk, they do some dangerous things: hurting people, breaking things and acting angry to everyone. The punishment for their sin is that first they are hurt with flying knives, beer bottles and broken glass. Then it starts raining rubbing alcohol. It is absorbed into their skin, causing them to scream in pain. The sinners are all in a giant grave/pit. When the alcohol fills up the grave, they all drown in it just as they drowned themselves in drinking too much alcohol when they were on earth. They are left in there until the alcohol evaporates. Then, the process starts again.
