Poetry: Mass suicide

by Marcus Emery

Created on: April 20, 2009

History replete

With group dropouts:

Some despairing,

Some from false hope.

Life is a course

To be full-run.

Romans threatened,

Hence Masada,

Charisma with a lie,

Hence the hope hidden behind Hale-Bopp.

Charism with con,

Hence Jim Jones koolaid sippers.

Life is a course

To be full-run

On one's own terms,

Not the whims of the Mass.
