Lessons in Hell
Part 1:
Does knowing
Leave a bitter taste in your mouth?
It’s so easy
To persuade yourself
When you don’t
Know, isn’t it?
Now your only way out
Of this hell
This hell is to
Teach you, yourself
How to repent, and how to act
You remain a prisoner until your sentence ends,
And your sentence begins
When you admit it was your
fault
Fixing it isn’t the last step,
But trying will be a start.
Forget everything you’ve told yourself until you understand.
Forget everything, because
You lied.
Part 2:
You climbed out of this hole. Now what?
No, don’t bury it. You’ll just fall in again.
See these footprints? Follow them.
No, they aren’t yours, at least
not yet.
You see these pits around you?
There are people inside. Help them out.
Don’t even touch that rope. The devils put it there.
If you pull them out, they’ll just fall in again.
Teach them how to climb out.
Tell them how you did it, but
None of these pits are the same;
Each of these cells have their own key.
Teach them how to climb out. They don’t need a fishing pole to do that.

If the path to hell is paved with good intentions, my path is paved with rainbow-shooting flamethrowers.
