I have no idea what is true and what is fake in this world of ours. I see one thing and then I am told anouther. It is getting harder to see what is realy going on in this world. I see hope and willingness to work hard and to prosper. I can see the wolves waiting to devour these lambs and I can see the machine that orcastraites it all. I hope one day to see a future where an idea like Jonestown can actualy succed. It was a great idea to begin with and turned into a tragedy and that hurts me somewhere deep down inside. It makes me hurt in a place that I can not really tell where it is hurting at all. Maybe it is a small place that is my soul. To see all those bodies lying there dead because of one mans vision is a deplorable site that makes me sick to my stomach. It started out as a group of people who were working, sharring, and praying for a wonderful idea that they wanted to make a reallity. A future that didn't judge you by your skin and that showed compasion to all who would listen to the glorious word of God. They took all of there belongings and gave them up to the greater good for all. Not many had much to give but they gave it without questioning there actions. They believed that their sacrifice would be rewarded by reaping the benefits that would surely come from the hard work and dedication of all the followers. Their dream was taken away from them by a man who had other ideas about the future.

He invisioned a glorious future where he reigned as a God over the very people who had trusted him to help build the future that they were shown. He was selfish and greedy. He was opressive and controlling. He saw himself as something more important than the wonderful dream that he had showed so many people and he was wrong. He showed the world that you could not trust anyone who seems to have a vision of a future that is better than the one we have. I hope that people will not think suspisciously of the next idea that sounds wonderful and progressive. I hope that the next visionary will not be the mad man that the last turned out to be. Jim Jones was rumored to be a member of the CIA and that the entire ordeal was nothing more than a sick experiment on communisum but I am unsure if that is true. All I know for sure is that what Jim Jones had promised his followers was a great thing and that wat he gave them was a horrible reality.

I don't know what is true or what is false and I'm not even sure if it matters. The ending is still the same no matter who is to blame, why they did it, or how it was all done. The tragedy that is Jonestown boils down to one thing and one thing only. One person can ruin the dreams of all who are involved when dealing with a vision of a better tomorrow.
