In crisis or to question
believers turn to God
(a non-existing entity)
Being an atheist
I turn to my Ba or Mother
(once in existence, now in memory)
O! Ba Ma
what has happened to Obama?
His TSA people
will pat and full body scan
any of the 675 million Muslims
traveling within the US
or from outside to the US
50%of the world’s Muslims,
that is, 10% of the world’s population!
Not all these Muslims can travel
most of them have been grounded till death
due to economic circumstances,
their leaders’ policies,
and US imperialism
Those traveling will protest, scream, curse
but will ultimately submit
The United States,
on a path to self-destruction,
will lend a sympathetic ear
but will execute the new rules, anyway
O! Ba Ma
Obama’s men will humiliate Muslims
but let’s ask Obama
to do a small favor:
Muslims should be allowed to reciprocate
in a small way
by fingering the patting/scanning officer
(for a symbolic give-back),
of course, with a sanitary glove on
cause no one likes the US shit
Side effect:
soothing cream industry will flourish
