Seers too have instincts

                             

The seer, whose vision was a mission

To millions to wash their sins and earn fortunes,

Steers himself to hire men and kings  

To save him from the crime he landed in.

The seer, whose words were taken as God’s

By millions for getting tickets to heaven,        

Hears from favourites and swears lies

So as to flee the clutches of law

The seer, whose faith should shun ego,

Power, wealth and comforts to its core,

Wears them to augment his might and right

To sever rising heads and stumbling tails.

Still a seer is better than a rogue.
