" 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
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!!!!!

I remember this just like it was yesterday. I remember where I was and where I was living. You have remembered this well. It was such a dark time. *S* Cynthia
