Punishment

A land without hope, nor any human face

The land that you're sent to when in Absolute Disgrace.

Your wings are ripped out and the wounds drip red

But you really don't care because really instead

Your obsessively focused on this fabulous scenery

Although its kind of weird and not at all postcard-y

The mountains are supposed to be a virginal white

But look more like the virgin who was out every night

They fade and blur right into the sky

So the birds splat into rock when they attempt to fly

Although your not sure if they are birds-maybe lucky souls with wings

But a closer look tells you their rather lizardy things

A chatter of voices follows you around,

When you turn to look there is no source of sound

Their manic whispers may drive you mentally insane

But men screaming "DIMMOCK" don't exactly cause pain

You reach a garden gate-with a sign oddly perverse:

"Beware of the doG" although dog is in reverse...

The garden,as such, is devoid of all colour

Complete monochrome style-SO like your mother

But the Tree of Knowledge stands in full bloom

And the Flower of Ignorance is shrouded in gloom

Where brambles wave in a pointed caress

And all wear their tattered best dress

Where the Virgin's white lilies weep black tears of Sin

As though to compensate for the truth from within

Above glitzy rainbow letters falling in descent

Spelling: "The Garden of Eden", all twisted and bent.
