Because of Netanyahu, I believe in Hell (again)

What a power you represent in me
Netanyahu!
I who, when I was little,
Impressionable, gullible and often doing
What was wrong and punishable,
Harbored an unshakeable belief in Hell
Because I was convinced
(Thanks to Sunday School)
That I was going there.
At 10 or so I started having my doubts
That Hell was real.
And then for 60 years,
My love of Dante notwithstanding,
I did not believe in Hell at all,
But rather in reincarnation
Because of a vision I had at 19.
(But that is neither here nor there.)
The Bardo is where lost souls
While away eternity
Until they figure things out,
And that is punishment enough for anyone.
Well, almost anyone.
(I wasn't quite sure what to do with Hilter
And Truman [for blowing up two cities
Just to test two bombs].
But those two freakshows
Were from another era
So I managed to not fixate
On their damnable lives.)
But back to you, Netanyahu --
You single-handedly made of me
A reborn believer in Hell, in my 70s!
But don't worry little ones!
Hell is not for you,
And that goes for anyone reading this.
You think you know what darkness is?
The darkness in that man's soul
Would make any other darkness bright.
I promise, there is nothing you can do
That is bad enough for you to go to Hell.
Hell is a nasty high security prison
A few abysses below the Bardo
Where hopelessly broken souls
Go if they have done terrible things
To humanity without remrse.
They are sent there
So they will not be wondering around
In the netherworld messing with the living.
I don't have any information
As to who will be there besides him.
I only know that that is where he is heading.
I need that for hiM
So I can ease up
On my bitter loathing for him.

Let the universe take care of him!

Just get him out of circulation

The moment he breathes his last,
Never to return in any way, shape or form.
My curse upon you, Netanyahu, is,
Go to Hell.
You can bet your life, it's real!
And it's waiting.
Just for you.
