Champagne coated final breath

 


There are so many levels of Hell.

At first it can be complicated,

navigating the grand stairways, 

all leading off in random mazy directions,

Like a multistorey shopping centre,

an Escher creation of misery.

It so often gets a bad rep,

like a bottle of Pepsi

next to a crateful of Coke.

 

"Yo man ain't cha heard

heavens where it's at.

When you get there

they hand out cucumber sandwiches

sparkling clean water,

fig leaf welcoming packages,

and all the books

you ever wanted to read,

as long as it is the Bible.

You'll be grateful that you are dead,

It is so graceful, seeing the cherubs

flying overhead"

 

But if you think of it more

like a rival

companies afterlife,

it soon adds

a little more depth.

Heaven isn't just death.

This is M&S expensive

champagne coated

final breaths, as you wistfully

float in the harmonious tones,

but sometimes

you just want to raise hell,

idle down the flaming 

middle aisle of Aldi.

Exploring all of the wonderous wares

Eating their cheaper, but tastier fares.

 

There are numerous layers of hell,

like a fiery trifle, each layer

a wonderful mouthful.

The popping candy topping,

devilishly delightful, but beware,

there is always a trick to the treat.

Something hanging in the air.

In hell the best musicians will be

playing guitar maniacally,

as hell rises around them.

Each guitar lick lifts

hells molten foundation a bit.

As it breaks out of the ground,

A whole new continent

to prowl around,

leather trousers may not be

the soundest choice

You really need an ice pack.

For the tempestuous heat

soon plays havoc

with your seat.

 

This is the hell

that the collective

is trying to raise.

lead lined with foundations

right to the centre of time,

but the vibes will be fun,

no three-day long sermons,

spoken over the same classical

harp piece being strummed

over and over again.

Greensleeves can stay on earth

where it belongs.
