The Infernal Ruler

I ventured into the furnace of Hell.

When I arrived, I was weak and crying,

and I trembled as I watched the flames swell.


I saw mankind’s true nature belying

the rotting facade from the world above.

I considered it as I lay dying.


I saw an animal destitute of

the characteristics it relied on:

no beauty, no wisdom, no strength, no love.


The infernal ruler is mankind itself,

whose ideals are performed and whose true nature is forgone.
