Respect

Why should we respect a saint who eats apples while his neighbors are hungry
Why should we respect a saint who sits with Dons and stands with corrupt Politicians
Why should we respect a saint who is miser and greedy
Why should we respect a saint who is not active against violence and harassment
Why should we respect a saint who is an ignorant speaker
Why should we respect a saint whose words are high and actions are low
Why should we respect a saint who does not quench thirst of seekers
Why should we respect a saint whose claims are based on falsehood
Why should we respect a saint who does not turn candidates into saints.
Lesson. Why should we praise a guy who is not worthy of respect and admiration?
