Hell

Enter in the loving men
Enter in me
Enter in the devil-man
Enter in the sea.

Devil-man casts spells on us,
Throws water from the sea
Loving-man throws lightening bolts
Of pure white loving me!

Whizzing through the air I go
Plonk! I hit the sea.
Devil gets an evil fork,
And thrusts it into me.

Burning, searing fork of death
Scolding me soul and now-
The scolding fork of death doth part
And I must make a vow:

If the vow I now do keep
My soul shall e'er rest here.
If I do not vow this trust
My sould shall slowly sear.
(I vow).

- Simon Huggins, 1984 (aged 12)
