Hell

“Awake, arise or be for ever fall’n.” John Milton

Entropy's hellish wage, as order decays unto chaos
Empathy shares the shame, as care turns to apathy
We've become the children of the final generation
Rather than defend a higher ground, most now run
The future infected in a world described by Milton
Where those prefer to rule in Hell than to serve
Surrendering morality, surrendering immortality
To be their own master and rule from a jail cell
The selfish desire manifested in a role they chose
To rule over the likewise corrupted and fallen
And be jail warden over those damned in Hell

“Long is the way and hard, that out of
Hell leads up to light.” John Milton
