Why am I not able to bow to most people? (poem)

When I see an idol or a picture of Ganesha, Krishna, Master
something within automatically mellows down and I simply bow.

When I know very well that, that idol or picture isn't God,
and it's been made by a poor person in unhygenic conditions.

When I know that God is within me from my own experience,
that I could'nt access it for decades due to immense clutter.

When I know that God is somewhere inside each one of us,
even in those people who are now being unloving towards me.
