Iran is tense
Iranians are nervous
people from various walks of life
belonging to various religions had gathered
in a plaza in one of the cities
many of them were offering prayers
to save their country from
the current embargo-war
and the possibly upcoming missile war
Jesus, Yahweh, Ram, Allah, Bahaullah
Muhammad, Krishna, Guru Nanak, Ali, …
were being invoked to intervene
someone among the crowd admonished:
“None of your gods, goddesses, or God
is going to save you from the coming wrath.”
one person asked:
“So what’s the remedy”
the admonisher replied:
“Pray to the Supreme God.”
many people present there raised the question:
“Who is the Supreme God?”
“Kala Bapa [Black Father]” was the answer
several voices (in unison) showed surprise
“Kala Bapa? Never heard of that god before.
We’ve heard of goddess Kali Mata [Black Mother], though.”
someone produced a picture of
Dasamukhi Mahakali or ten-faced Great-Kali
who is wearing a garland of her victims’ skulls

“Have you heard of Bho?”
“Who hasn’t?
He’s the Technological God.”
“Yes my friends.
He’s the 44th avatar of Maha-GW”
“But he’s not white.”
“It’s all maya, illusion.
“Do you think whites are really whites?
Originally, didn’t all human beings come from Africa?
So the whites are not white
and the BHO is not black.
“And if he tries to act different than what he is
a magnetic bomb will be attached to his clothes
with the help of a palm
which knows where to place the device”
“Does Kala Bapa know everything?”
“Yes. He has as many faces
as there are countries on this planet,
because He constantly watches them all.
The garland of victims He wears is too long
as it is made up of millions of skulls.
As many hands as there are weapons.
And as many feet as there are asses,
because he likes to kick asses.
“Alas! I’ve no sense of drawing,
otherwise I would have put his qualities
in a painting form.”
“What should we pray?”
they inquired
“Here’s the prayer:
‘O Kala Bapa! Please forgive us Iranians.
We took you as one of the gods.
Honestly, we were totally unaware that
you’re the Supreme God.
However, now that Your true nature
has been revealed to us,
we beg your forgiveness
and ask you to take us under
your protective arms and ammunition.
‘We’ve also realized our folly
about the nuclear technology and
have decided to discontinue its pursuit.
‘We also promise never to question
why does your illegitimate child
is in possession of 100s of nukes.
We should have understood long ago
the common sense fact:
Like Father like Child.
‘We also came to know that
your delicate health prohibits you
from drinking any liquid except OIL.
So from today, we wouldn’t think
about our own health at all.
Please send all your OIL ANGELS
to our land to repossess all our OIL fields.
‘O Kala Bapa!
Buddha one said: Find your own salvation.
Today, we’ve found ours:
Our OIL is your “national interest.”‘”
