Personality Worship Poem by Mohammad Akmal Nazir

I can't step in where personality is worshipped
This is the most henious act of our age
People irrespective of religion and cast
Have detached themselves from their roots
They have forgotten the teachings of their religions
Before the hectic ways of life
They use shortcut to reach God
That's why they throng these so called saints
Who themselves are millionairs
And yet extort money from them
In the name of offering and gifts
Saints have nothing to do with money
Their involvement in worldly luxury is an indication
To the growing distance between them and God
If they really feared God
They would behave like His slaves
And make people fear Him
But they are the agents of
the rich and mighty
Who dupe innocent people.
