Hell's Bells

    When Hell's bells are a ringing,
    Will Heaven's door be closed,
    Is there one among us
    Who can more than just suppose?

    There's no man who is spotless . . .
    No not even one;
    As Hell's Bells are a ringing,
    Who will stand or run?

    I think I hear them loud and clear,
    I need to get on out of here,
    Ringing closer, very near,
    Taunting madly in my ear.

    I don't conclude that I will flee,
    For they will always follow me
    Down into the pit of blazes --
    I have been through hideous phases.

    So if my time is over,
    And I don't fare too well --
    I did my best, was tested and tried,
    And life on earth is Hell.

    Cathy Leming
