Gandhi the Saviour

Gandhi
the  savior,
the tower  of  tolerance;
awakened us
from authority;
he brightened our
spirit of sacrifice.
he soaked us with
his nectar of love
he had a heart of 
special virtue
incapable of colour prejudice.
he declined to be 
a  bond slave
and the British pierced
him like an arrow
but his spirit of 
compassion never withered;
he is a man of 
matchless power
plunged and pledged 
to protect our  motherland 

S.Bagyalakshmi.
