God on Facebook
If God ever had a Facebook account,
God’s profile name would have been God,
There would have been more than trillions of friend requests,
And His Inbox would have been inundated with messages,
God’s profile picture would have been the Sun or maybe the Moon,
Under the ‘About Me’ section,
God would have described Himself as – Allah, Ishwar and Jesus,
God’s religion would have been,
‘Service to Mankind is service to God’,
God’s profession would have been just a line,
'I am here to help’,
There would have been many followers on His list,
There would have been pithy status updates.
And God would have replied,
‘Feed the hungry and love the disabled,
Help those who are experiencing pain,
Don’t kill the animals or cut the trees,
Preserve my love for you – the gift of Nature,
Say no to war and yes to peace,
I created men not to kill one another,
Let the love grow beyond borders,
Stop this terrorism in the name of religion,
I created human beings as black or white,
All humans are of common blood of the same colour – red,
So why this racial discrimination? ’
There have been countless prayers on God’s Wall,
Prayers to fight medical ailments,
Prayers to seek happiness in life,
Prayers to be a parent or someone’s proud spouse,
God would have answered such prayers:
‘Happiness lies in being content with life,
I gave you the mental strength to fight,
I gifted you willpower to make your destiny,
I blessed you with determination to see beyond misery,
I created miraculous people to make you believe in destiny, ’
It would have been so cool,
If God also had a Facebook account.
