An Immoral Saint

I think you are thinking how i could not make a big cut 
And become a power wielding politicians though 
I have a blade like tongue and a mind like a cauldron 
Boiling leads and freezing mercury at cryogenic level 
And break a path to be super rich though I know 
The trick of the trade how to play intraday in equity market
You might also think that how it is possible for a man 
To be quite extraordinarily and lives a life of penury 
When I sacredly have discovered the formula to win a lottery 
But I am not thinking all these but I go wondering 
In your presence how a liar becomes a leader all around 
Telling white lies and a rascal swindler becomes a tycoon 
A mass killer becomes a minister, a child rapist a lawyer 
and a social worker who was few days ago a notorious goon ;
At a time I think you have stopped thinking otherwise 
They could not be so confident telling us to listen or die 
Could not issue threats after threats to ban us and 
To snatch our all due rights sitting together conspire and try 
To malign us in every possible manner known to mankind
Other time I do not wonder seeing you keeping silence 
Looking other way and giving us just useless lip service 
A man of coward nature like you must be a lousy hypocrite 
A seller of conscience and a filthy immoral saint  of the street
