(In Hindi, Bhakt stands for devotee; used colloquially these days to represent blind followers of the leader. This post is inspired by the 1980s Gloria Estefan hit, Boys will be Boys)
Bhakts will be Bhakts
Bad Bhakts, Bad Bhakts
He leads, and they follow
Where to? Little do they know
It's all in the scriptures
Knowledge, wisdom, and science
Solutions to all problems
And cures for all ailments
Their chests puffed with pride
Their ancestors' achievements
All invaders from the West
Hold blame for their current plight
They've been so eager to follow
Alas, never had a worthy leader
They all were either elites
Or transplants from another nation
They want their types to lead
Countries and corporations abroad
But an outsider leading them?
Is blasphemy beyond compare
"Secular" is their expletive
Intellectuals are all "pseudo"s
Liberals have to be "lib-tards"
Or, permutations of all of the above
Fatalism is their birthright
Destiny is their privilege
It is all, somewhere, written
By the moon, planets and stars
