Hopes for the after life

I hope that when I die there is burning

And demons with pitch forks

I hope that when I meet the devil

He’ll have goat feet and twisted horns

I hope the smell is putrid

And the sight assaults my eyes

I hope that no one shows me mercy

No matter how I cry

I hope they fill my mouth with maggots

Until I can’t scream or talk

I hope nightmarish nasty birds

Peck at my face between their squawks

I hope they light my hair on fire

While I shriek and howl in pain

I hope they laugh and make jokes

I hope this happens everyday

I hope they make me watch in vein

As they peel off my young sons skin

I hope they break one of my mother’s bones

For every time I have ever sinned

I hope the afterlife is awful

And agony is ever persisting

As long as when I die

I don’t just stop existing.
