Christuraj Alex Poet Verse

National Hypocrisy

O! Mahatma Gandhi!
You taught us non-violence
But we slaughter easily
Our own sisters and brothers

We create an institution 
To promote your ideals 
Yet we subject to ordeal 
The destitute of our nation

Bride-burning and bribery
Casteism and untouchability
We puff in snobbery 
Losing our accountability

O! Mahatma! Do not weep and curse
This beloved nation of ours 
When the books of your messages 
Are used only for binding packages
