Sarcastic Sinners


What a strange day, that I'm visiting hell Been through already seven circles, I Heard enough of the sinners' cry and yell. Then came the eight circle, sinners who lie Were sent here, are the most sinful of all Worst, they use sarcasm as a disguise. This circle has gorgeous color of fall But can sinners enjoy this view? Oh no, Busy suffering great pain, did they all. Hung by the tounge, by the fish hook, in woe The string attached to the hook has hot clay Melting down, to their tounge and throat, it go. Burnt by clay, was the price they had to pay “But that's not all the tortures” Virgil said, “Ask, they'll tell you what it's like everyday.” To one, I asked “Oh soul, what made you bled? What left you scarred, left your disfigured face? And tell me why you're in this place of dread.” “I used to be such a sarcastic case Thought of it just as a simple saying; I used that nonsense at whatever place.” “But now, as sarcasm used as joking Or even meant for harm; the string will Turn to flame, left my face and neck burning.” Eventhough I felt bad for them, but still They did the crime, they have to serve the time Afterward, my sympathy went down hill. Because they think it's a victimless crime, I was really angry at them for that I wanted to torture them, just one time. So I left them burning by telling one Sarcastic joke; and sympathy? There's none.
