Oh Gandhiji Come Back, World Needs You
Parents beating their children with scale, belt, iron rod
Burning their hands, pricking them with needles
Leaving them in dark room alone
I hear them cry in agony
Distressed,sad mind says
Oh Gandhiji come back, world needs you
Cases of murder, rape, violence, terrorism on increase
Wars killing many
Parents telling kids if someone beats, you beat back
Not thinking of the long term consequences
Distressed,sad mind says
Oh Gandhiji come back, world needs you
Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you said Christ
Ancient Indian scriptures, our law of karma states the same
So does many religious scriptures
We get back what we give,. this we see every day
Give respect, you get respect, give help, you get help
Shout, other person shouts back,
You beat someone, he will surely beat back
Violence perpetuates violence
Our sin increases, we suffer
We have forgotten our age old fundamental values
Distressed,sad mind says
Oh Gandhiji come back, world needs you
However bad the world may be, we have to be good
We should not sin, for we are accounted for our acts
We get back what we give many times multiplied
Why give violence and increase your own miseries
Why not give love, kindness and serve other's
World needs to revise long forgotten ancient truths stated in scriptures
Oh Gandhiji come back, world needs you
Gandhiji knew scriptures very well
practiced what they preached
All are parts of God, beads of same string
God resides in heart of all
We should think like that and live
Then we will automatically become good like Gandhi
World needs a selfless, all loving leader to guide Ll
Oh Gandhiji come back, world needs you
