The Face of God

If God ever had a Facebook account
God’s profile name would have been…God (what else?)
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
'I am here to help’
There would have been many followers on His list
There would have been pithy status updates.

And God said
‘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
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’.

It would have been so cool
If God also had a Facebook account.
