Tritina Regarding Marshall Applewhite Heaven's Gate

Why have I come here today?
Was it not to seek refuge from the chaotic collapse of our world?
Was it not to leap aboard the bandwagon and live forever in harmony, that is before the
earth is lost?

But why? Why must our families grieve at the sight of us “lost”?
Why must we depart from our dearly beloved earth today?
Why leave? ‘Tis a beautiful world…

But alas, we must follow him until the end of the world,
Ignoring all consequences of our departure into the land of those who are “lost”.
Yet still I wonder, why must we leave today?

‘Tis an odd feeling, to find I’ve lost the world today…

Bengi, Loose the world and grab God's arm. Because when one always clings tight with all of one's might to the hope of eternity and peace, it will come. One love and respect at a time. Keep writing. Love, Dane
