The Irony of Hell
Romeo and Juliet's Road to Hell
Now listen to this tale
Of two chaotic lovers trapped between purgatory and Hell
With blood that runs deeper than any story to tell
Jake and Jasmine Bell
Got married on the outskirts of Hell
Just beyond the echoside and a fiery wishing well
Little did they know the price
To tamper with the boogeyman’s dice
So they didn’t think twice
Before they rolled with their life
This is how they came to be on that
Beautiful harvest moon night
_____________________________________________________________________
Jake lived a life of fun and greed
Until his change of conscience brought him to his knees
Now he’s begging God please
To take his life and give him peace
A prosecutor that doesn’t get sleep
For condemning an innocent life because he couldn’t see
With one touch he couldn’t believe
That I’m here to take his soul with me
_____________________________________________________________________________
In the grand scheme of things, it all went awry
Jasmine knew she was gonna die
Right after she got high
Her life was gonna burst
She couldn’t take what was gonna come
first
So she slit her wrist
Hoping it’d end better than all of this
Now she’s weeping blood in the back of hearse
Wondering how it all got worse
What she doesn’t know is her seams are
about to burst
And I’m gonna take her soul and give it
rebirth
________________________________________________________________________
So now you’re wondering how we got into this
predicament
Though it seems negligent
But somehow it’s Heaven sent
Let me show you how it was relevant
The chemicals that bind these two are
unfortunate
It’s not my fault I saw a bigger plan
These forces were set in motion before it all
began
And soon you’ll understand
why my liege couldn’t comprehend
_____________________________________________________________________________
Fate would have them meet on a pier
Him walking by, sees her despair
Forces of nature couldn’t have prevented it
I was the bug that commenced it
Now let’s see how it plays out
___________________________________________________________________________
Her sobbing fills the air
mixed with the fire rain
He couldn’t contain off of a dare
To find the nature of her pain
So he walks up and initiates the game
__________________________________________________________________________
On his overlook, my liege saw this
move made
Beside him, I explained, these two are
our golden pin in a stack of hay, let them
play and see how the lanterns lay
At this he confessed, these two are broken
given a miss.
But suicides shouldn’t be mingling like this
This world doesn’t give second chances
especially on the lines of romance
Either interrupt or face the consequence.
_____________________________________________________________________________
My rebuttal didn’t make sense
To him, the pros didn’t outweigh the circumstance
To him, they never stood a chance
To me, they’re the only ones that make a difference

“Miss?”
“Miss, why are you crying? It seems as if you’ve stopped trying.”
Tears of blood pouring from her eyes
She looks up and confesses her crimes
_________________________________________________________________________
“Sir, I don’t know why I’m standing on this pier. The bones it’s made of led me here. As for the red that comes from my cries, I lost myself and died.”
Beside herself, she looks at him and wonders how he got here
Such reasons that could have put him in this place, wrapped in cold, blanketed with fear
Even as he told, she could never believe she thought
Unjust and broken, the way things seem to be caught
Handsome but his life could’ve never been bought
“Why are you here? Such a nice looking fellow, how did you become damned?”
“Well ma’am, you see it’s such a long story and I don’t want to kill you of boredom.”
He looks at her and pops a grin
She to, couldn’t contain the laughter coming from within
“I was a wealthy business man. Young. Good-looking. Stupid. You’d think being a prosecutor would have its perks, mine were disposable. Or at least that’s how I see it.”
_____________________________________________________________________________
Minutes feels like a life-time here. After so long, I could tell my superior was growing impatient. Wanting me to go make a statement. I think I could get use to this resentment. It’s kinda fun being death, you get to pop up in an instant; Catching people by surprise, you catch them in lies.
He was explaining his life story, out on this bone pier, her eyes glued to him. I knew these two were the best decision.
I interjected, “What the hell are you two doing on this pier?” “Why are you two standing on my countersuit’s collection?”
Startled she says, “We both have no idea, only I was crying and he came to find out the reasons of my misfortune……..”
Jake stumbling to his feet, tumbling over his words to speak, “S-S-Sir, I saw her out on this pier, and decided to find out why her life was so “distorted.”
Interjectionally, I concluded the conversation with, “Funny.” “This is gonna have to end. I can’t have you two out here and about. That’s not what he ordered.”
With that being said I disappeared, bat’s flying from their line of sight.
_____________________________________________________________________________
An Ultimatum as given, I could never understand his vengeance of conviction
So now I’m left with this perilous decision
Soon I’m gonna show him what I’ve envisioned
It’s hard for him to understand my side
So many years, I’ve served
I feel like I’m what Hell deserves
Jealousy wont slide
Biding my time, he has to die
_____________________________________________________________
Back on his overlook, he was laughing
I stood resilient being the object of this reaction
Little does he know, I'm gonna stop his direction on how this bullshit is going
I have a hood for a reason, this motherfucker would never suspect his kingdom is imploding....
