The Hollow Man

it is the hollow man
who abandons
God.

God waits.
The hollow man floats away.

God goes near him.
The hollow man drifts farther away
from His Bounty.

God understands.
The hollow man does not listen.
Ears are perforated
by his ego and
pride.

Then, the end has come.
The hollow man goes
to hell.
Combustible
the fires of Hell
so easily consumed him.
