Down to limbo, a castle and fields
Those who know nothing of Christ reside here
In time when those are sent to the lower eight stages
There's no hope of reconciliation, tis' a noble fear.
The souls in lust
Are blown forever by the harsh storm
As their appetites swayed their reasons
There is no one in this circle to reside in a dorm
The third stage, the gluttons
They wasted their life of food and drink
They are now halfway buried in slush and raw snow
As there is not one person who was smart enough to think
On my way to avarice
People cared about wealth
They hoarded moneybags in life
As they are scourged into pushing them back in no stealth
The sullen and the hateful
Always driven to wrath
Hear the clashing of arms
In this circle, there is no aftermath
The sixth stage of heretics
They claim that there's no second life
Forever they'll be in flaming tombs
No joy, no happiness, and not even each a wife
The violent against themselves, God, and others
Hear the clashing centaurs punish those in a river of blood by storm
As the suicides gave away their flesh and blood in life
So they will forever be denied a real, human form
Stage eight, I see the frauds
From twisted heads to those physically divided from discords
They cheated others in life
Therefore, the punishing demons are their lords.
The last dangerous circle, the treacherous
A three-faced demon in between
His mouths eternally rip apart those treacherous to their masters
As their screams are heard and their faces briefly seen

- Title: Nine Circles of Hell
- Artist: Mario the Davidic Hero
- Description: Last year, I've been reading about Dante's Inferno for nearly a month, so I thought I can reflect on something that relates to what I can retain while reading that book. Enjoy!

- I do not own any content relating to Dante's Inferno, just so you all know. This is just a reflection poem that talks about it. So in other words.... a bit of fan-poetry and stuff... you all know what I mean.
