Study Jonestown.
Study the microcosm:
same old socialist
tyrant on the loudspeaker:
revolutionary compound,
demon king enthroned
in his pavilion;
feudal lord
having his way
with all his nubile daughters;
the inner circle
with the automatic weapons.
⛧
Jim Jones
was a star.
no Little Richard, he . . .
no wannabe white nights
of James Browns . . .
away with your Elvises
your Supremes . . .
lightweight crooners all:
mere Marilyn Mansons.
But Reverend Jones
played the REAL funk,
the TRUE soul music.
There is earth.
There is wind, and sometimes
fire.
But Jonestown, LIVE—
that was a show, brothers and sisters.
When Reverend Jones was at the mike
it was serious as hell.
(Father knows best.)
★
same old lies / same old poison
spiritual wickedness / lost souls recycled for hell
communes / community / communism
(*heard all this **** before*):
strident calls for Social Justice / the Social Gospel / Socialist Delusion
Father knows how it ends.
Drink up, brothers and sisters:
it's closing time.
