Nine Rings Of Hell For Central American Refugees

As I visited a book store the other day, I gravitated to the Classics Literature section.  Glancing through the selections, I paused when my eyes reached Dante’s Inferno, a literary masterpiece about one’s spiritual journey through nine rings of hell. 

That was not the book’s only message, as it also illuminated the suffering of exile and leaving behind what a person loves most.  

Although composed over 1,000 years ago, it remains applicable to the plight of Central Americans migrants seeking refuge in the U.S. who must overcome their own nine rings of hell.
