L. Ron Hubbard: The Poet, submitted by John. L. Ron Hubbard, who you may recall as being the insane wacko who gave birth to a cult which recruits brand new insane wackos, was not only an insane wacko cult leader but also an insane wacko poet in his previous life as a living human being infested with the souls of trapped alien Thetians. Ronny-corpse wrote all kinds of sensitive and romantic poetry, ranging from the sweet and lighthearted"Death," to the morbid and depressing "I'm Happy." If I were to directly quote any of the poems on this page or even attempt to use a photo of L. Ron Hubbard during this review, the Scientology lawyers would crawl up my penniless ass faster than a Scientologist cult member in a reststop's glory hole. With this in mind, I have decided to take some "creative liberties" and alter one of his poems in a way that will free me from their legal persecution, as well as use an image of L. Ron Hubbard that I made a long time ago, possibly while under the influence of narcotics.

Wow, what a deep and thoughtful poem! It really made me think about... well, something. I was definitely thinking though, and that's the main point. Be sure to check out the other mind-bendingly beautiful poems L. Ron Hubbard created during the years when he was alive, all of which confirm the fact that he was really a deep and emotional shitty poet.
