“the seven spiritual laws of SUPERHEROES.”

Wow, wow! so powerful are these laws
They are now stirring
The lovers of Kamasutras
The lovers of Kabalas, K-Bars
And the lovers of SUPERHEROES.

“I was mesmerized by the conversation between Grant and my dad.”

Even if you were not
Please tell us, tell us
Not once, many times
How you were mesmerized.

If a dad can’t mesmerize his lad
Or his loving daughter in her pad
How can he mesmerize the world?

Superheroes, in Chopra's view, are not external beings. "These are archetypal beings that stoke the fire of life and passion in our own souls…..”


So is the Superhero
Of all the Superheroes – God.
Creating him through
Our collective imagination,
We’re now celebrating him
Through collective consciousness
Collected by our
Revered guru in the universe
And presented to us
Through queer quantum
And quark thoughts….


Magical is God
Magical is our guru.

"Superman has outlived his creator," declared Morrison. "He's still there. They're dead. He'll still be there when I'm dead...”

So has our new age guru
In his super imagination
Of the wisdom of the dead –

Of those who loved love
In love books of Kamasutra,

Of those who found secrets
In the books of Kabala,

Of those who died drunken
With their skulls sunken

In bathtubs of K-Bar liquors
Reading comics like kids

And eating Indian foods
Cooked with curry masala.

All superheroes will be dead
Our guru will be dead

What will be left will be
Fat bank accounts

Piled high and deep
Made with sales of

Books on sham souls, sham love
Sham peace and sham God above….

“It was a thrill to see the Virgin Comics booth with our first series of comics -- Devi, The Sadhu, and Snakewoman.”

Here comes the real plug in.
O poor virgin comics!
What happened to the ones
no virgins any more.
Are the comics virgins ?
Is Devi a Virgin?
Is Sadhu a virgin?
I doubt if the Snake Woman
Is really a virgin!

It makes one wonder,
If the one behind
the funny virgins
Is still a virgin, indeed!

Not because of one’s choice
But because of poor nature’s
Some funny blunder and absurdity.
