Eternity continues with the next line: If the devil is not in hell, do you think that maybe he escaped by just paying a fine?

Humans say

That hell is my home.

"Hitler is in hell", they say,

Hitler is not in hell.

I dwell in the dwelling

Between heaven and hell.

 

I was prodded to pomposity,

My ego swelled

And exploded,

Its contents soiled society.

I took tutorials

From savages who invaded Africa,

From crooked clergies,

From immoral Imams

And from rogue royalties,

I shared unholy sacrament

With those surrogates of Satan.

 

Daily in my dwelling

I do penance

To cleanse me of uncleanliness.

After remission,

I will hurry to heaven

To dwell with Divinity

And be drenched

With the dewdrops of divine mercy.
