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
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
