The Conversation in Hell

 



In these dark times, you need your faith, whatever it is.

Even more. 


Salute. 


Do you like poetic stories?


There's a great game afoot.

The prize?


You.

if you get hooked 



Title:

The Conversation in Hell



′In Hell, a lower devil asked a very successful, higher devil.


 "Your lost souls count is spectacular. How do you turn so many beyond 


Even the likes of Brother Count Dracula?"


The successful devil, smugly answered:


Team work and dark temptation with my other six princes.


So to Hell 


We could take souls to be forever anchored 


Using the power of temptation on people 


Who take the Lord for granted.


And making them believe only they matter


Since 

Social media


Infused with our dark matter


Sure does make the new herd gather harder


Making 

People stay in and

Stop meeting 


Hugging or greeting each other.


From sons and daughters

Fathers and mothers


All fools becoming obsessed with self-imagery 


Causing their soul wilful injury 


Relinquishing their humanity and that's when we step in 


With The Lanterne of Light


Brother Lucifer bringing Pride


Beelzebub bringing Envy


Satan: Wrath


Abaddon: Sloth


Mammon: Greed 


Belphegor: Gluttony


And I Asmodeus. 

Lust.


For with pride begets envy

Jealously turns into Wrath


Wrath turns to Sloth


Laziness and apathy 

Fuelled by greed to


Gluttony and lust 


And making them believe all our lies 


And in doing so

Losing their empathy 


We do this all the time 

In newspapers or online


On platforms they are brainwashed to trust 


Telling them to live online

With this line


Who needs freedom 

When you live online in a new kingdom


And so it happens


Sad souls living and lying about their lives online


Knowing it's wrong but won't admit it


Envious of family and friends


Trolling


Chasing fame and fortune but won't do the work


Twerking for Mammon with greed 


Feeding Belphegor's gluttony 


While I Asmodeus

Give them 

Lust.


The darkest gift any soul needs


And in that manufactured life of presenting success


They die every day at our request 


While encouraging their corruption

In the process 


Only to finally fall when they forget the Lord


And we lead them to Hell 

By The Lanterne of Light


To join our legions and hordes


And it's why I hold the highest souls count


The underworlds

World record


For I make them addicted with a lust for life 


So they forget two simple things which can save their immortal soul


Asking for forgiveness through prayer for the chance to be transformed.


The end.


________________


Moral of the story.

Don't let the darkness in.


It comes calling in many tempting forms you know!


Social media, in any form can easily turn into a form of addiction.


Creating 

Hate, fear, jealousy, envy, sloth, lust and so much more. 


Sending best wishes and blessings. 


Be safe in spirit as well as life. Salute.
