A good Catholic’s Comedy
(with respects to Dante)

Sunday, they preach of fire and brimstone
	 and nonbelievers mixed 
         with all shades of sinners.

         Down where Ghandi wails for God,
         as a tempest below dizzies
         Shakespeare forever in disarray,
         and only a few circles further,
         Hitler boils in a river of blood,
         whilst over on the bank,
         Slyvia Plath and Ernest Hemmingway
         cry bloody awful in a mournful sway.


Monday, they preach of peace and love,
	   compassion and understanding,
	   everlasting,
	   (reserved strictly for the believers)
