Shirdi

Golden foyer, with an iconic statue
Crowds rushed by, Sai only had a moment to spare
The controllers kept pushing the crowds, the people kept barging into one another
Feet were black, managed an hour of stares
Devotion and religion are a joke at this site
Respect to God yet what a pity to find such a symbolic place
have turned into a commercial flight
Money, the goal, merchants selling goods to achieve blessings from the lord
Inhabitants selling bracelets and flowers that provide material sounds
The statue for which one travelled eight hours, was viewed for less than a minute
Closed off were the special places where Sai baba would reside in 
Shirdi Shirdi.. holy place, or money minting
