Ode To Hale Bopp

" Ode To Hale Bopp " In California in 1996 a small group of cultist gathered and called themselves Heaven’s Gate as a group practicing with total faith in their leader all decided their fate. For nearly two months all fully wanting and eagerly waiting to catch their flight intently watching the comet Hale Bopp sweep across the sky night after night. Together this group whole heartily believed in the comet’s tail was a space ship they spiritually prepared themselves as a group to have a better life Via this trip. This small group prayed and believed this space ship would take their soul’s to Heaven’s Gate as a group practicing with total faith in their leader all decided their fate. They solely isolated themselves with their leader after saying good bye to everything they knew all arming themselves with a pocket full of coin and a certain brand of tennis shoe. The wrongful beliefs led this cult into thinking they would be taken to Heaven’s Gate by this ship they all spiritually prepared themselves as a group to have a better life Via this trip. Partaking of the kool aid with their leader praying as they placed the purple hood over their head together this small group of cultist called Heaven’s Gate were all found to be dead... Penned By MPK NOTE: Sometimes we all reflect back into past history and can find it to be very inspiring...
