A light bulb burning in Hell

CEE

You don’t want this,
This, assuming the place with
Double toothpicks
Because—if you spend 5 minutes
On Orthodox Christian theology
You learn it ain’t a Dante screamo fest
Rather, thick darkness
Where, if Pascal nailed it
Before you’re ever nailed in your box
You’ll see no one
No one will see you
And you’ll just be there, as
Eternity’s outside of Time,
That’s all pretty grim
You’re probably offended
But immortality as a talking point
Isn’t gonna happen
Not for you
How, then, could it be worse?
If you had to look and see ‘that’
Never able to sleep
Knowing you’re just...there,
Assuming, you know
Which is a genius magician’s twist
Suddenly, Evil doesn’t equal Darkness
The Devil is Thomas Alva Edison
