STONE HELL

Stone Hell,
all around me;
and filled it is,
with stone hearts.
Grand welcome,
awaits the "Beast";
not for me,
this -- in the least.

Red sun sets,
another day gone;
no ray of hope,
in sea of sweat.
I am "crazy",
and "out of sync";
this mad world thinks,
how it stinks!

Lucifer mocks,
with his cronies;
Adam's vile seeds --
-- The hardened rocks.
I am wiser now,
than I ever was;
I see all bonds,
are frail like glass.

In this Stone Hell,
is fate replete;
a karmic term,
I must complete.

A Sufi smiled,
at my sadness;
"They are crazy,
"You don't worry."
And more he said:
"God loves you,
"As you love Him,
"Don't be misled..."

"In Stone Hell,
"Have faith in Him,
"For, goodness is,
"Destined to win.."
