Today I saw him in the fog
The spiritual guru with glib tongue
Passed away yesterday.
Thousands came to the burial grounds
To see his casket lowered
Into the pit in the ground.
Many said he went to heaven.
Today I saw him in the fog
Moving around so confused.
I asked why he was there,
We thought he went to heaven.
“Gates were shut,” he said.
He had sent so many there,
There was no place for him.
