HELL

as I walked through the gates of the underworld

the first retched creature I met ask simply

what is it here in the land of hades you seek ? 
what it was I lost 
ah you seek the love once you had then ?
yes 
and do you plan to leave this place alive ?
that remains to be seen 
carry on then friend this shall be the show of all shows

~ D donner ~

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The gates of hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
But to return, and view the cheerful skies,
In this the task and mighty labor lies.
~ Virgil: The Aeneid ~
