The Supreme Being
Loves and wants people to
Remember, worship, and obey Him
So He performs miracles
But always on the wrong people

People of Dagestan
Part of Russian Federation

Decided to uplift people’s spirit,
But also to warn

To convey His message:
“Be thankful or grateful to Allah”
Like the United States

So the message is in Arabic
The only language He knows

He won’t survive
In today’s multicultural world)

One wonders why:
I am a thief
I am a CIA agent
I am a womanizer
I am a blood sucker
I am an unjust ruler
I am a murderer of my own people

Never appears on foreheads of
Karzais, Shahs, Sultans, Zardaris, Emirs, Mubaraks, …
