empty save the fallen angels with barbed wings,
his guide dared not step forth through the gates.
“Go forth and meet me on the other side,” he shouted
“within these gate, a man shall seat you.”
No sooner had Vergil spoken was he gone.
Alone Dante trembled through the broken field
of Dis, the empty homes and markets, til the
city-square he found, shades sitting at an epic table.
A who-ic1 feast for the wicked, the 7002 decadent
beings sat, ready to be served. The maitre'd walked
to him, his right hand replaced with a boom stick3.
“good sir,” the man spoke, “i see you have found
our dinner. But this is not for you.” He smiled
with his arrogant little French mustache.
“no, monsieur, This is the table for televangelists.”
He smiled sweetly at them. “dinner is about to
be served.” So Dante watched the false pridets.
A black-robed tyrants cloth with radical agenda4
brought forth the sinful meal, born of the pride of
the men, no women for this crowd5, cocks to be served..
Stew appeared, born of bile from their molested,
and shit from their words, hands for silverware,
removed with a swift cut of a knife, only to be healed6.
The 700 chained to seats by flowers and witchcraft,
their faces pushed forth by an unseen hand into
the main course, pseudo-medical miracles:
Skin flayed and fried in buttered lies, meat torn from
the backs with hook of praises, grilled in a hellfire
equal to the their pride, and feed to them by sodomites.
“see they are happy, no?” the maitre'd smirked and led
Dante away, “no worries, Vergil shall met you,
Ah there he is run along.”

4In 2005, Robertson launched Operation Supreme Court Freedom, a televised nationwide 21-day prayer campaign asking people to pray for vacancies on the Supreme Court, where "black-robed tyrants have pushed a radical agenda." Robertson declared that "God heard those prayers",[23] after the announced resignation of Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

As to the question that i have: since the act of traveling through hell and seeing all of the sinners and sins had no effect on Dante, does this mean that even if we see our sins, we can not change ourselves?
