Inherited Hell

 

A wall of darkness came to him,
A wall that was born on his own whim.

He feared no darkness nor the wall,
And so he paid a heavy toll.
A seed through lack of hope was set,
The wall grew thicker, heavyset.

And through this wall he could not break,
As many have tried in its wake.
The more he clawed against the wall,
The more it rose and left him small.

With one last push, he hit the wall.
But now the wall was far too tall.
The wall had went around the world.
The wall around him had curved.

There only then remained a hole,
Through which he screamed, "I lost control!"
Just then, the wall engulfed him whole,
The wall consumed his very soul.
