Twin Hells

Those formative times
Filled with meter and rhymes

Lies!
Nothing could stray further from the truth!

A Hell made for Child through lash
A Heaven made for Adult through pain
A shallow regiment yawns from an empty chasm
Swallowing the Child into nothingness

A Child, beaten, violated, lashed
Taught to fear, taught to behave

REBEL!
Flay those!
Or submit?

A Child stuck between two Hells
Ice and Fire, peace and war

Why?
I do not understand

Why such pain visited upon the innocent?
Why such pleasure and malice in their oppressors?

The Child was reincarnated into a damned soul.
