Millions of people visit internet now
including the Hindu, Muslim, Jew, and Tao
On it are conducted frauds and works
and is inhabited by the wise and jerks
Believers make up a huge market too
so there are entrepreneurs that screw
Air Sampai guides your worship through
providing at every step a proper clue
Out of 30,000 temples, Fushimi is very nice
dedicated to Inari, the Shinto god of rice
Beneficial it can prove in many ways
to water down the devotional blaze
During pilgrimages, many people die
in stampedes, leaving families to cry
Mecca has seen believers getting killed
India’s melas with such stories are filled
Yatras and hajj should follow that path
absolutely avoiding such deadly wrath
Most will have to settle for virtual things
as the real things will go to the rich and kings
A bit of astrological or educated guess
how God, gods, and goddesses will bless
The would be prophets will receive soon
messages via internet-angels and will swoon
To mountains or caves they need not go
in comfortable houses, to the lord they’ll bow
