SAINTS OR THUGS (July 1974)

The so-called saints of today

Feel happy and gay

In performing magician's tricks

Which they Call miracles

To exploit the religious sentiment

Of the people, ignorant and intelligent

And by their sweet talk and outward show

Of spirituality attract people, behold and lo!

Alas! many learned judges and doctors

Fall a prey to these things, what a wonder!

During day they weep and pine

For God but it's woman and wine

They enjoy best at night

Feeling happy and bright!

They Collect money in plenty

Not for Social work or charity,

But spend it on shameful acts of life,

Little caring for degradation and strife!

Now a dada is arrested for forgery

In Calcutta very recently,

About whom we used to read frequently

As the master of spirituality!

So, beware of these things, dear reader,

Though they appear to have charm and wonder!
