Another Johnstown

Daya Nikahetiya

"Johnstown": Jams Warren Johns was the founder of "Peoples Temple" which was latter famous as "Johnstown", located in Indianapolis, Guyana. It was an isolated agricultural commune built in 1974 and had a population around one thousand. At the beginning Jim Johns church in Johnstown earned reputation for aiding the unemployed youths, homeless, drug addicts and the poorest in the city.

There he started many social projects such as daycares centres, medical clinics for the benefit of the poor. With Jim John's ability to manipulate people, he used brainwashing techniques and performed miracle healings to keep the loyalty of his congregation and attract members.

"Johnstown" became internationally notorious after died over nine hundred people including 276 children on November 18, 1978 by mass murder suicide by drinking cyanide laced flavour aid on Jim Johns order. Jim Johns gave his follows sense of security under his protection and promised to take them out of this cruel world to a 'promised heaven on earth' but, ultimately he brought them all death and disaster.

The following poem is about similar kind of "Johnstown".

Once upon a time
It was a peaceful town
Those who lived in and around
Had a harmonise time
But later sometime
A power greedy mind
Turned upside down
Changing it to a war ground
Another 'Johnstown'!

It's now a Ghost Town
Surrounded by suicide clans
Detonates and land-mines
Dominates fear around
Operates under killer command
Who invented cyanide-clowns
and human-bombs!

At the beginning of new town
Some had a jolly good time
Self-styled criminal minds
had taken the power
...into their hands
Manipulating the other
... in and around
That was their primetime
but during the resent time
everything turned round
....and boomeranged!

In the meantime,
Some came to 'Johnstown'
as 'whitewashed- pigeons'
and 'NØ GO' saints
With hidden plans
for their undercover missions
Pretending as helping hands
Playing double games
to support the king of clowns
for his secret plan.

Mastermind
Hiding underground
Prepared his satanic-plan
for his genocide game
He has a fantasy dream
to become the king of town
......never mind
it's only a psychic trauma!

What is going on?
Inside the "Johnstown"
It knows only the king of clowns
His word is the rule
no one can that overrule
He has a cyanide-bowl
to keep the clan under control!

What has gone wrong?
All are running round
Many are leaving the town
The king of the clowns
Hiding underground
preparing his last plan,
but the time is running out!
