Thus spoke Allat*

By B. R. GOWANI

The heavily polluted earth
Was saved from more pollution
When Terry didn’t burn a Qur’an

We feel that God is telling us to stop”!
Is what he told the world

He is a liar
I didn’t tell him to stop
I didn’t even notice his antics

Two years back when Fred burned Qur’an
I was indifferent then
As I’m now at Robert’s ranting

But all these and others
Are on my hit list
When malak al-maut brings them to me
I won’t even have to play Menaka on them
They’re more gullible then Vishvamitra
My beauty’s luminosity
Will turn them into my Meeras

My wrath, however, will burn those
Muslim, Western, and other leaders
(Political and/or religious)
Who have no respect for human life,
Are in the killing business,
But were begging Terry to forgo his decision
Because it would endanger people’s lives!
