Dante Speaks in 2021

Press play. Salute.



What if when u die and you get to finally materialise on top of Mount Helion

And are asked by the gathering hordes below the ravaged ridges and ageless plateaus

Screaming and swelling in their endless millions 

Dressed in white shawls or naked trying to hide their opaque corrupted faces










All begging and asking what was heaven like on Earth


When you were once birthed by two of the multitude of the ever-changing races


Did you find love or chose to rebel outrageously with sin like one of us


Blindly led by the Almighty's fallen six-winged felon


How would you answer their crying questions

And share the essence of your time and spirits progression 


All those deeply mystifying souls defining secrets

Of all those sometimes happy or sad painful moments or transmigrational souls lessons


Did you evade the nine circles whilst on your life's work

Its sacred and only divine mission


From the first circle to the last


Did you knowingly avoid been allocated


Depending on the results which are worn permanently for eternity 


By everlasting bright shiny eyes which forever see through all your soul's many ever-changing masks


One of the hottest places in the Inferis 


That is devoted for those foolish in times of great moral crisis


Who choose to defend their all with an air of self-importance and impartiality


While avoiding sharing their love for all life


Wherever it be


Like it was a sanctified oath of their choice of Gods morality
