Gandhi

Gandhi What principle stimulated or stirred this Guy Which Doctrine or what Teaching did he buy? Sauntering on sandals and wrapt on his robe Miles that he treaded traversed entire Globe. He taught of pure Love- Peace did he teach Violence did he spurn- Tolerance did he preach. Vision in his keen Eyes, wouldn’t we enact Pain or Punishment which couldn’t detract? Thin, sturdy legs of Master of tireless trudges Preacher of Peace who was averse to grudges; Of all his strengths; non surpassed his Heart Which Wickedness had reasons to thwart! Pivot of all Races, and a hub to every Creed- Afford Tree he planted to bear Fruit and Seed! ***For those who hold as sacrosanct Teachings of this Great Teacher, Leader, Lawyer & Philosopher in his immortalised quest for Non-violence and Tolerance in Politics & Religion and to those who are prepared to die for it!

This poem is a great tribute to Gandhi! I hope people could realize how much he sacrificed for our country...unfortunately the political scenario has changed..all promises seems to be fake now. The government has become a paper tiger...
