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...
