Gregory Richard Barden Poet Clerihew

Notes About The Poem

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

Hindus fighting Muslims, and brother slaying brother,

          made peace to save his life, loved more than any other.

               Dear Bapu, your greatest weapons, thereof ...

     the power, nonviolence, the strength ... LOVE.
