In the Details

If there's no hell, then where are all the devils,
as surely you're not meaning to imply
that Dante's dark Inferno, all nine levels,
are absent any guide or passer by,
and simply his inflamed imagination?
The poet and his vision of a hell
where each receives according to their station,
proceed with caution, never mind the smell,
made up? An Alighieri allegory?
A children's tale to frighten those who sin,
an ending for in the beginning's story,
a payback for what happened in between?

Assuming that's your take, the answer's clear.
If there's no hell, the devils are all here.
