Inferno Subway Of Life

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here" – 

 Shakespeare 


When somebody tells me “Go to Hell!”,

I laugh, because we are both

already there. No matter what,

you are already with me, my friend, 

in this speedy subway of life. 

We maybe are at different stations or

maybe stand together on one?!


Flame from left, flame from right,

and the most unexpected ones

come in the back

from the dearest love ones.

Every flame has its name.

Oh, the list grows until the last day

of this subway journey.

Before you are ready to say “good bye,”

you already know the size of their horns.


 “Go to Hell!”? Please, pay attention

to your own journey in the life's inferno.


P.S. ‘inferno’[ɪnˈfɜː.nəʊ] - Italian for "hell"
