a cult of one

after watching

the show on a cult in Albany,

my first reaction

is what stupid

idiots these people are.

giving up

their money,

their lives,

their sexuality for this nutcase

who captured their souls 

under the guise

of self-help.

worshiped and adored.

what's wrong with people?

how easily are

they brainwashed

and suckered and hypnotized,

and then

i stop.

i think about my own life,

once or twice being

dragged into a relationship

resembling

a cult of one.
