Terrorist Threats: The Somfukinstanis


Their ever-feuding tribal warlords fought together only against foreign threats
Their women have always been kept ignorant, barefoot, completely-covered and pregnant
Proud people with ancient traditions but without a real country of their own
Nonetheless, the scattered Somfukinstanis cling stubbornly to their dream

Their traditional homelands carved up by colonizing foreign invaders
Then left alone to constant internecine squabbles with their heretical neighbors
A dry, dusty and resource-barren high plain, long over-grazed by their goats
But the image of an independent Somfukinstan carries them ever forward

Their homeland is an ancient crossroads for marching armies coming from all directions
But a deeply-rooted religious faith sustains them even in their endless petty squabbles
Poverty and ignorance surround them just like the buzzing biting flies
Nonetheless someone endlessly provides them with cheap automatic weapons

Colorful in traditional garb, fiercely independent, but generous and open
Quick to anger and intolerant, their women must stone an unfaithful wife to death
Chosen by god to suffer - To better appreciate the paradise which ever awaits them
Persecuted and run off like stray dogs they are long-inured to all forms of hardship

They’ve found trades in hostage-bartering, drug smuggling and arms dealing
Boys perform rote memorization of the teachings of the prophet - In a foreign tongue
Sipping rancid butter tea in scant dusty shade, they rest with weapons ever close at hand
Their Somfukinstani mullah has come to bind all them in His unforgiving words

Scornful of modern ways they hope to live under a Caliphate by spreading fire
They follow their own perversely twisted version of the holy prophet’s scripture
They combine a stern and unsmiling discipline with rigid adherence to unquestionable rules
They subsist with their guns under god’s law, without electricity or running water

Somfukinstani elders have even demanded a homeland before the United Nations
Their refugees fill ghettos taking menial jobs in a dozen other countries
Yet they still speak of a great leader who conquered vast swaths of the known world
Expert marksmen, they pick apart military convoys from desolate canyon rims

They ban rock music, television, fast food and have no internet connections
They know the West is home to the devil and all manner of human sin
Terrorists are their folk heroes to whom they gladly provide safety and shelter
Medical services are non-existent and few men even know how to drive a car

The prophet bids them to revile foreign culture be it ancient statues or modern advertising
But 5 times every day they kneel in filthy clothes on tattered prayer rugs in the tired dust
Their women they keep ignorant, in order to raise yet another generation of lost men
Thus, Somfukinstani suffering must continue, fueled by ignorance, brutality and dogma
