Ecstasy In Purgatory

Adam Mohamoud
Aug 18, 2021

Dante’s flames engulf me,

I escape from hopelessness

I delve into nine circles with thee

Partners are the only way to survive the journey

Look Satan in his eye,

Open his wings and fly

Away from me,

Teenage is purgatory

Forever, until a new life lease

Lease existence, then tax my essence

Is that life?

They say the tax man is the devil,

Clearly they can’t see the holy spirit in his eyes

How do you expect Satan to react,

If he eternally burnt his wings black?

How are we supposed to find happiness?

Life’s meaning scattered at Babel,

Enslaved countless,

For an unsure journey,

A purpose is just a label.
