Virginian

Sometimes, I have no forgiveness.

Wherever you are, let hell be there!

 

Let there be weeping, vinegar tears

your soul be restored, just for pain

six inch nails, to pierce your temples

hungry flames, to lick and lick and lick

 

Let your companions be the Austrian

and he from Tikrit who sullied gallows

and let there be the genius,

Mengele, to tinker and tinker and tinker

 

and let there be acid remorse

but no salve of forgiveness find

before the end which never comes

 

Virginian.

No doubt they'll enjoy eachother's company. It seems to be getting crowded down there.

Yes. Being a bit of an atheist, I don't really believe in "Hell" - but it makes you understand why human beings felt the need to create such a concept. 
 
I don't believe in "Evil" either, at least not as a seperate entity. Impulsive badness and anger can visit such pain on so many. One little, insignificant non-entity can destroy a hundred lives in the blink of an eye. Astonishing. Can we ever fathom it?

May I never, never cross you Oli. I wouldn't want you chucking a curse at me. I do believe in the forces of evil, as much as the forces of good, because I sometimes think that human beings must be taken over by some evil forces to do the dreadful things that they do. I can't imagine normal people suddenly turning into devils from hell on their own. Enough said, goodnight.
