I Heard A Sound Brake Out From Hell Poem by Ezekiel Nketani Jr

I Heard A Sound Brake Out From Hell



I heard a sound brake out from hell
The sound as of an iron bell
And when it reached my pensive ears
It woke the greatest of my fears

I have heard that hell's a heat
The floor too hot for tender feet
But then i quivered at the sound
As though snow-flake there abound

I heard the rack of iron bars
That gilded up the fallen stars
I heard songs like 'may darkness reign'
And of a street called 'devils lane'

And the discordance of the sound
Now i finally understand
Still this question mocks the day
How two fools would go that way?
