India is a land of various beliefs and superstitions
It is not that these beliefs exist only in this country
The world is crowded with believers who blindly follow
These masked men who hypnotize and seal the fate of man
They fool and drain their senses of all logical thoughts
That can reason and question ‘their’ fraudulent assumptions
These swindlers craftily engage these unsuspecting creepers
To coil around them and fall a prey to their carnivorous appetite
No one has any control over the extravagant flouting of wealth
They exhibit
They own acres and acres and acres of land
To build their obnoxious ‘shrines’ of worship
Where innocent girls and women are lured and tempted
To pray to their dancing tunes to attain salvation
These ‘hungry moles’ draped in lion’s skin
Lewd and scurrilous, scramble underground like snipers
To sniff and snap, sniffling for protection
From their ‘rich muscled followers’
Who bow down and touch their feet for blessings
To rule and subdue the common man
So, such dirty ‘sadhus’ and ‘sants’
Are spared the wrath of other god men and muscled men
Until they are exposed

Our tradition is now in the destructive mode!
The believers in superstitions and in the assumed powers of the so-called sadus,are taken for a ride!
True belief in God is presumed to be a weakness that is sought to be taken advantage of by these unscrupulous saints!
A sadhu must live a simple life, setting an example to others to follow suit!
But it’s not the case with the present-day godmen who amass wealth and indulge in all the modern comforts, not excluding their lust towards their sincere followers!
It’s for the believing people to see reason and sense before prostrating in front of the bogus representatives of the God!
