The Saint with a Taint

The self styled God man cultivated a following very wide
His followers believed him to be the Almighty personified

Many powerful people considered him their spiritual guide
They sought his blessings for success and to turn the tide

Saints renounce pleasures and power to live a life dignified
But he seemed an exception as these rules fell by the wayside

He made his millions and built an empire of aashrams nationwide
His powerful position ensured his scandals did eventually subside

His response to charges of sexual assault was insensitive and snide
Calling the victim to be of unsound mind, to save his own backside

As he defied calls for his arrest and took the establishment for a ride
Politicians appealed for restraint as though he was the nation's pride

Constant media and public pressure made the politicians stay aside

And when finally arrested, he was brazen and defiant, but terrified

It is now up to the Courts to ensure he is quickly and efficiently tried
So that if guilty, he is promptly sent to jail and has nowhere to hide!
